Rainy but productive week.

The work continues in spite of the rain. The rain has delayed the pouring of the floors and installation of the roof however. The PLAN for this next week is: pour garage floor (critical to the move out date from Rochester) and pour the basement floor, pad for the gas tanks and the sonotubes for the deck supports. In addition, the breezeway materials are on site waiting for a sunny day which should happen Monday / Tuesday. Then WEDNESDAY we are scheduled to have the windows arrive on site. Several friends are graciously assisting us. Most of the windows will be far too heavy to lift from the truck so we will use the Lull we still have here. One of the windows is a combination window / door arrangement that is 12 x 14 feet so having extra hands to slide that one will be helpful. Inside partitions essentially done. Insulation guy, heating guy, roofing guy and building inspector were all on site this week. It appears that we will be able to use our garage as a SHORT term storage as it is detached and we guarentee that it will meet all local codes. I took a few more photos this week. Some may be hard to interpret so if you want a tour, let me know. We actually have a real work product to show for going onto 2 years of planning.
View from the master bedroom window looking at the lake.
If you look closely you can see the water trails of 2 loons swimming by.
Karens nook on the left back of photo and kitchen framing for wall oven and pantry. This all faces north away from the lake.
This is the eastern edge of what will be the curvilinear shaped ceiling. You can see Ryans template tacked into place. In the background is the entry closet and the laundry room and linen closet. At the far end is the entrance to what will be this next week, the screened in breezeway leading to the garage.
