Building Up Walls, the good kind

Our vision is coming into focus. Now when we walk into our new house you can tell which room you're standing in. They finished the garage and StoneRidge Guy's workshop yesterday so we can liberate our belongings from the local storage facility. It's going to be like Christmas time in Spring. There are boxes that haven't been opened in over a year and I have no clue what's inside.

Our 2 car garage, behind it you can see
the entry to StoneRidge Guys workshop.

The trailer garage

The upstairs is insulated and dry walled. They start tapping today and should be completed by next Wednesday. We'll be going into town to pick our texture style soon.

The insulation going in the great room and master bedroom & bath

Now that the walls are done, the rooms look smaller and darker. Would you like a quick tour?

The great room and fireplace.

This will soon be filled with cabinets and an kitchen island

Spare room upstairs

A slight change of plans, nothing new here. We weren't able to insulate and dry wall the downstairs due to a bit of a flooding problem. That was caused by the spring thaw running toward the house; we weren't able to do the finish grade before everything froze. We have two pipes that come through the cement stem walls that are leaking. It's fixable, but not until the ground thaws out and we can dig down to the pipes. In the mean time, we just keep sucking up the water and mud.

Stairway to the daylight basement, no problems here

The bonus room/music room

We plan to concentrate on getting whole main floor done first so we can be moved in by the end of May. Our appliances are waiting in a StoneRidge neighbors garage for just a few more days.

Our front door is finished being stained and varnished and will be installed as soon as the dry wall has been taped and the texture applied to the walls. Our kitchen cabinets will be completed in a few weeks also. Now our next task is to buy the rock for the wainscotting outside and for the fireplace.
Stay tuned.
