We passed the heat and cooling inspection today. The framing inspector was a little rough on us, but all we need to do it put in some kind of brace that will keep the roof from falling off. In the mean time we can have the insulation done. I called the insulation people today and […]
Oh my, the stress….the stress! The plumbing inspection happened weeks ago. No problem. The electrician called for his inspection yesterday. No problem! Today the heating guys called for their inspection. PROBLEM! Are you ready? They failed because they did not put in a dryer vent and a vent for the bathroom fan. Those two stupid […]
No, it is not such a big deal, but it is progress. I went out today and put on the back door lock and handle, and then I put a dead bolt on the front door. Only took me two and a half hours!!! No kidding. I had the hardest time with the handle, and […]
Our framing inspection is scheduled for tomorrow. Is the framing done? No, not at the moment, but it should be by dark. Good thing since we have no lights in the house. They need six more pieces of lumber (what have they been doing with it?), and they are done. The electrician called to say […]

This is what we saw when we arrived today, and boy did it thrill us!!!
But it ended up not quite what we had hoped for, but better than we were afraid of. We have a door!!!!!!
If you look really, really carefully, you can see Ann has written Possum Manor in the dust. […]
We went through that whole lumber incident for nothing. No one worked at all this weekend. I spoke to the guy on Saturday morning and he led me to believe the doors, at least, would be hung this weekend. Nope. I was there at noon yesterday, and even the pooping dog was absent.
We are promised […]
I need you get this image in your head. We had to get a load of lumber out to the house so that they could finally finish our framing and overhangs. The guy had thought he would get it tomorrow, but the supply place we are using is not open on Saturday, so […]
