Brrrr...



The last two nights have been in the upper 20's. That makes for uncomfortable sleeping environment. Thankfully, today has been quite warm with a forecast of upper 30's tonight.
Cabin status:

  • All windows and doors are installed
  • Rough electrical wiring is complete - waiting for inspection
  • Recycled denim insulation has been ordered

Lucky!


Wall Residences, Floyd, VA

Christy started her new job at Wall Residences this week. She'll be working in accounting and HR. I'm jealous cuz she's got a walled office (something I've never had). Anyway, she likes the organization and the work. It's only 20 minutes away and to top it off, it's a green building. Our friend David did the solar panel installation.

We officially moved out of the tent on Friday. Earlier that day I had placed 4-ply plastic sheeting over the door and window openings and so now we're fairly well protected from the elements. It's a great feeling.

I've also started the electrical wiring and hope to have that done in the next day or two.

Terra Cotta Red

The roof is complete! Ben put the metal roof on while Christy and I were in Charlotte. It looks great. Today I finished up applying the tar paper. Next up, rough electrical and installing windows and doors. Rough construction inspection is set for Monday.
