Another One Day Swing

We were in Gunnison for Western State's Family Weekend on Friday and Saturday. Derek is becoming quite the rockhound, from both a study and climbing perspective. His hair has now taken on a black with red tint, vs. the black with blue of last weekend. As long as there are no tattoos or body hardware (visible) we can't complain.

The house now has a complete interior lining. Jesse has done a real nice job on the great room ceiling. We spent most of Sunday removing all of the plastic from the glulams and sanding them in preparation for finishing.

A couple of items have now become apparent; there is a thickness difference where the glulams meet any drywall and the ceiling liner needs to have a finishing piece added at its ends and sides. Jesse came by with his family and we talked about the possible solutions. We are going to use 1X that is chamfered for the drywall finish and beveled quarter round on the liner.

The window stools will also have a chamfered edge and the apron will have a 10 degree end cut to match the door head casing.

Visually, the addition of the cabinets had the biggest impact on the interior. There are still a couple of pieces that need to be fit, but it is looking great. The counter should be templated tomorrow, so that will put the counter install sometime week after next. I am again tentatively looking at the week of the November 13 for the CO inspection. Who knows maybe we can have Thanksgiving in the house.

The house is looking less like a construction site and more like a home, so we are now starting to think about turning down the construction site. The next time the satellite goes back we will not return with another one. Also the rolloff will be leaving us in the next ten days. At that point Tim will come back in to re-grade and gravel the road.














Remember this picture:








Well yesterday we couldn't even sit through one beer before we were too cold and had to retreat to the trailer. The sun now sets behind Waugh(WSW) at about 5:30.
