Progress Continues

Things have gone a bit slowly this month, but we are still moving forward. The electricians have been out and most of the rough-in is complete.

The stairs to the basement have been put in which saves a lot of running around. The siding is about 75% complete, and the decks are down on both the front and back porch. The weather has been nice although we could really use some rain. Clear sky days in August are a bit rare around these parts.

We decided to bring the road up along a contour line instead of shooting straight up the back. It made for a much more manageable slope but added significant length. I can't wait to try a full speed run down the hill on the bike. Hopefully we will get enough snow to try the sled out as well. If you come through town stop by and try it out. Happy motoring!

Uncle Earl does beautiful stained glass work and has graciously agreed to build four small panels to fit in the doors. Throw the switch and Viola! Beautiful back-lit stained glass. It nice when things come together... See the original sketch.
