August 14th...











Hello again: We are back from a week of vacation (sort of....) at the cottage. The latest scoop is that the outside didn't progress as we had hoped....they ran out of board and batten siding. So the builder is measuring what he has left and our decision about how to proceed stems from that. On a positive note, we had our septic system installed, inspected and approved and the electrical rough-in is done and awaiting inspection/approval. Hydro did however, hook us up to the "grid" so technically we do have power :0) Plumbing got delayed a bit too, so next Monday, Rob is meeting with the plumber to go over some stuff and that job will begin. We also had a surprise visit from the building inspector and despite a few little things to be taken care of (some extra nails in the girders, a couple of extra studs for support in two spots)...the shell is solid and passes the grade! So, here are a few of the latest shots... hope you are having a great summer!
