It's Starting To Look A Lot Like A House

The devil is in the details. That seems to be what today was. Details, details, details. I'm so very lucky however, that I have a builder who is an honest conscience man who worries about the details.....in detail. He makes sure that everything is going together just right, solid and level.

And my house is actually starting to look like a house. With trusses in place, walls up and windows framed, one can actually see what we are aiming to accomplish here.

First he cut off the old roof vent and then plugged it. There is more work to do there later as a past leak has caused rot damage to the hip beam, but for now, it is shaped and plugged. The repair work will be done when the new section attaches to the old.

My kitchen window went missing when they started to join the new to the old on the east side. Eventually, the wall to the right of the window is going to disappear entirely and be a corner leading into the new section and the window opening will grow up to be a door.

At the end of the day, however, you can really see what is going on. The more it comes together, the more I believe I made the right decision to get this done now. It just feels right.

Once again, this proved to be a short week due to a combination of holiday, bad weather and rut season. So the year is coming to a close with so much left undone, but so much promise for the time still to come.

Happy New Year all!!!
