Progress on the wood floor

The wood floor guys have made great progress today, and may finish today. The insulation crew finished their job today, which will keep the hot air outside.

We have a cool house!

The air conditioning is up and working (in fact its downright chilly in the basement). Arctic Insulation was blowing insulation into the attic and over the garage so the cool will stay inside. The wood floor guys have finished Rita's sewing room, and are working in the guest bedroom. The guys also finished the basic construction of the deck.

Tile and flooring progress

As of today we have electricity in the house. Alliant finally installed the new meter one that will work with our solar system. The meter will run backward when we are producing more electricity than we use. The floor tile crew worked Saturday and Sunday to complete about 90% of the tiling job. The hardwood flooring was delivered today, with installation later this week.

Painting and stone completed

The painters finished painting the ceiling, and painted the garage so our garage door can be installed. The stonemasons completed the stone on the west wall. When the gutters are installed, and the new exterior doors to replace the temporary ones now in place, the exterior of our new house will be finished.
