Wednesday

I walked the perimeter of our property for the first time.  We drove around it with our neighbor's side-by-side last summer but it was nice to walk to lot and see the views from several angles.  I spotted some new wildflowers and something that looks like a grape...I'll have to research that one.

 

Actions on site:

• Gable beams are going up. This was THE design feature that made this house plan stand out to us.
• Kitchen cabinets all set (the other cabinets were already done) and we tackled a couple of issues, but now we can have the counter top guys come and measure.
• Post base framing (to hold stonework) is being done.
• And the electricians were back installing more lights, switches, and outlets.

Meanwhile, I took lots of pictures, read a little bit, and did some knitting while enjoying the view. No good internet (poor cell service) has a real up-side, it turns out.  

 

Then, in the afternoon, our neighbor came out to run the lawn mower.  We are definitely getting into wildfire season so a couple of times per season he mows the prairie grass.  While we build, he is gracious enough to keep ours mowed as well.
