PROGRESS!!






Wow! Two posts in October. Well, we have things to show you!

Weather has turned to summer again. Very warm and humid. Hopefully it won't last long. We need rain really bad, but that is not happening.


Since last time, Don determined that he was, indeed done with the wiring and plumbing and ready for the inspector to come pass judgement. Not to worry! Heavy Duty Don does it again. Passes with flying colors!








OK. We are now ready for insulation, but wait! Can't find anyone to do the kind he wants. After a week of playing phone tag with the area rep for Johns Manville, he finally gets two names. OK, lets talk timing and money! Wa La! Yesterday we got insulation. This is blown in fiberglass with an adhesive so it just packs in all the tiny little places and I'll be snug as a bug. For anyone who is interested, it's called "Spider".



Just look at those guys walking around on the stilts like they were high heels. Better them than me! Batts in the ceiling and more blown in on top after sheetrock.



So now we wait for sheetrockers......





In the mean time, we have a few things to do. Today Don and
Gail are tongue and groovin' right along on the porch roof! While that is going on, the bug man is treating for termites and all the other creepy crawlers around here.
Now, I get tired just trying to keep track of all this activity and take pictures for all of you. Fall is busy and I will have some pictures of other things besides this building next time. I promise!
Kids are all doing well. Kate and family sailed thru their first typhoon, got the keys to their condo, however, they have no furniture yet, no shipment from CA because her work visa has not yet come through. She is wishing for a little progress on her end! I guess it will be a while yet before they can get settled.
Stay tuned. November will be another wild one!

  1. This has been fun following along on your journey to build the studio--no work involved for me! Great progress--although, I'm sure you think it's slow. Looking forward to seeing it in person next week.
