Today the well was started. Spafford & Sons wells set there rig up and got down to 60ft. They hope to be completed by tomorrow. They say the water table should be about between 60-80 ft.

Work has started on the main roof system. At this point the back half was started first. The front of the log home with the prow will be the next step. John & his crew need to install the main beam before the wall and roof rafters are put in. One of the pictures taken inside the 2nd bedroom show the area where the bathroom will be, the loft is to the right. The picture taken from the loft down towards the dining/kitchen. When the roof is completed this view will have a dramatic change.

We had our first inspection today for the Bank. Even though it went well it seems like they hardly know what's going on. They did not contact me and ask any questions about the project. At this point it seems like a waste of money for what they actually do and the short time it takes. Enough on that subject. I talked to Spafford Well this week and they said we are next to get our well drilled. They said hopefully this Thursday which is tomorrow. Today's pictures are the latest pictures taken late this afternoon. John and his crew hope to have the roof completed soon. Yea!

December 12 th Update

Work continues on the log home. Here are some interior pictures that we taken today. Work on the other roof area above the main house continues. Notice in the picture that another beam was installed.

We Now Have A Roof

After a week without work being done because of the generator breaking down, we now have a roof over the kitchen/dining area. With good weather and some hard work we should have most of the Roof structure for the complete home by next week. If everything goes right the well should be drilled next week. I also talked to Verizon they are the ones that set the pole for CVPS. They said it should be done by January 8th. It's been hard to deal with these people because every time I call it seems they set it back a month. Lets hope they complete it soon. Most of the windows will be arriving on the 11th of January. They should be ready for them when they arrive. The windows for the walk out basement will be coming soon. We have to pick out a different front door. We are looking at different options most likely one with a window. The door will be fiberglass. We are also checking into Urethane Foam for the home. This should give us the best R/value for our bucks. Price is the only factor at this point. We appear to be on budget at this point but with any building project it's always going to cost a little more.
