We're back! We finally managed to get the camera and the computer together in the same place for once, so we shall update the blog. Where to start? First, while there was still sun, Pam finished off the shingles on the upper balcony and capped two protruding steel blocks (parts of the container) with copper.
Then we movedinside to many other jobs. You can see me (Fred) working on the curved staircase, which took a bit to get in according to the norms. Those 3 inch Torx screws with the impact driver are almost indispensable!
And then there is son Aaron working on the wiring, and stoking the first fire in the wood stove which will provide heat for the house. Since we live in the middle of a forest and the neighbor cuts and sells firewood every year, it makes the most sense here to heat with wood.
Insulation, and the required R38 in the ceilings! This really changed the temperature inside the house. That wood stove puts out plenty of heat.
Here goes the tongue and groove pine in the kitchen/dining ceiling, as well as the ceiling fan, which we need to move that hot air around.
Now we are in the bathroom, putting in the shower stall and putting down the tile on the floor. We are also putting up sheetrock where it needs to be. Some rooms (the bat
h) need it, while others need only a little, or none at all.

Wow-it must be fun to run around finishing all the bits and pieces, laying the first fire, getting ready for the first shower. What an impressive accomplishment for all of you! V
