Looking over the plans

Brie has just finished looking over the plans on the ride up to Kent today and looks like she has a few comments.

The First Floor is on it's way!

Wes sent us this photo and said the guys were starting to "fly" with the framing. The 2nd floor deck framing will be delivered today.

p.s. Isn't Wes's pup cute....

The Land

Walking back to the car on Friday, I took this picture of the wall and line of Birch trees .... the house will be great and so will watching the land grow back after we're settled in.

More barn ...

Art was not around, but the Barn is starting to shape up. Here are some pictures of the roof as well as the inside Mortise and Tenon joint work.

Framing is moving along

Well, the basement framing is starting to come together.  I visited with Wes and Lee last Friday and the Framers were just starting on the first floor deck, so I took some pictures of the basement walk out.

Remember a month or so ago when we had so much rock and fill we didn't know where to put it?  All of that is now used up and we have dumped ten or so truck loads of additional fill on the property and plan another ten more.

So many Tiles, so little Time

Here are some of the Tiles we are looking at for the Laundry and Bathrooms. Comments are welcome!

<- A possiblity for the guest bathroom.











Master Bath: The sand color represents ->
the cement countertop and the slate represents the floor.







Laundry Room ->

Glazed porcelain that looks slate-ish. This photo does not do this justice.

Finally Plumbing ...

Well out door plumbing anyway .... now I can go to the site Sunday mornings with my NY Times.
