We are well into March and have already had a couple blizzards (yeah). We Burton’s love snow and while it seems we are almost alone in our area, we still celebrate when we can. So, the final building hole has been filled and sealed, hence the title of the post today. Our min entry doors arrived and were installed and they are just beautiful! They are also thick. Stephanie has a fun taste in color and as you can see below, it’s going to put a beautiful pop of color after the siding get’s installed…right now it’s competing a bit with the green sheathing.
After the doors were installed, the team quickly transitioned to plumbing and that has progressed rather quickly. We now have what looks like a nearly fully PEX plumbed house.
Today was a snowy, windy, cold day. I stopped up at the site to take some measurements from the kitchen and noticed something when I walked in…it was quiet. I couldn’t believe how quicky it felt like I was “out of the weather”, with zero insulation. I looked out the windows and the trees moving and bending to the wind and expected to hear creaking from the house, of a high pitch whistle from the wind, but there was nothing. It made me long to move it, but also very thankful that there has been so much attention to detail.
Well, that’s it for now, here is what we have coming up next week:
- Finalizing minor air sealing details in A-wing roof and C-wing walls
- Progressing on rough in plumbing
- Starting septic install
- Working on A-wing electrical
