Exterior Complete

All the rain filled the creek behind our property and created a nice little waterfall.

Poppy took a break to play Skipbo with a couple of the gkids. Three of them (Saige, Penelope & Sawyer) stayed here last week to go with me to Vacation Bible School. They had a great time!

After a delay of about 10 days, the stone mason returned to clean the finished stone.

With the exception of the doors, the exterior is complete. As soon as the Sheetrock is up, we will have the doors installed. The following pics are of the spray-in and bat insulation.

We're using spray-in insulation for all the exterior walls and roof for "total encapsulation". This is the upstairs game room. I can't believe the difference in the temperature up here since insulating. It was like a sauna before and now is actually bearable even with temps in the upper 90's.

The Sheetrock should be delivered tomorrow and installed over the next few days. The cabinet maker was supposed to come out last week but had to cancel and we haven't heard from him since. Hopefully, he will be out soon and get started on the cabinets since it will take several weeks to build and install them.
