Autumn has come to Kentucky, at least every other day. Top 2 pictures are taken off the front porch. The trees are changing either from stress of the drought, or nature. I am told its "too early" but seems right on time by our New England standards.

We have completed most of the outside work, except for the garage door. The wiring is done upstairs and passed inspection. I have completed two bedrooms of insulation, while Pete puts wire downstairs, and Dad "hard wires" into the panel. The other picture shows the porch, which we stained and urethaned with spar. It looks awesome!!! A little more finish work and the enclosure of screen will complete our favorite space.

Thats the news from Kentucky.........

The completion of the cellar stairs was a major feat. As they said ,"third time is the charm". Thats our motto. The utilities were installed this week. Electric though temp on pole, its power. The rough in on plumbing is done, and thats another story, is being inspected tomorrow . All doors are now in, we are ready for the floods. The front wall which we left open for light is enclosed.

As the days are drawing closer to the 22nd, I am shifting my attention to wedding details. Pete and Rye will attempt the deck and siding. Thats the wrap for this week. OH!!! forgot to mention it rained all day here today. Awww cooler temps and end of some of the dust!!!!

Stairs...utilities....plumbing...doors.....enclosed front wall

This week's accomplishments.......septic system,windows, and completed roof!!!

Final the roof is complete, the area still exposed is to be sided. The septic tank is installed and passed inspection, and all the windows are installed. The temperatures are more friendly with a pleasant breeze. Thank you god!!!! I was hoping to include the finished stairs, BUT.......thats another story..stay tuned for more updates. It's Labor day weekend, can't believe it, 3 weeks to wedding.....gotta go......ya'll come back now.

Today was a day to divide and conquor. Ryan, Jon and Charlie went to work on the stairs. Pete started and finished phase 2 of the roof. Tomorrow AM the singles. I started pulling wire in the livingroom and bedrooms. As you can see the wrap is on and it was 95 outside and 110 inside. I guess I'll just bottle it for winter. If it snowed tomorrow it would not hurt my feelings.
We also installed the double window on front. Inch by inch, nail by nail we get closer to HOME!!!
