The snow is melting quickly now that the temperatures have hit the 50s (and low 60s today). Yesterday I went to Absarokee to work on staining the posts and beams for the porches. This is a continuation of work I did with Dad a few weeks ago but this delivery of beams was more than double that first batch. I worked all day and didn't quite get to the halfway mark. I did, however, get a few pictures. And today, I went back to keep going but this time I brought help! This will be my project room. The office Setting up the beams for staining. Three beams from the last batch get a second coat then it's on to the new stuff. 20 beams A little snack break in the back of my car. By 5:15 I was out of energy and space. These last three beams were too close together to prepare them for stain. Since I didn't finish on Thursday, I returned today and brought reinforcement. Not a bad place to work...if you must work. :)
Counting Down the Days

My trip to the house was quiet. Except for the excavator putting in the last loop of geothermal tubing, I was the only one there. My first mission on this day was to put a first layer of clear coat on the mantle (so that it's smooth and dust-able). With that done, I could wander around and see what happened on Monday. A small wall, overlooked on the house plan, has been installed and will hopefully get primer and paint this weekend. Interior doors are starting to go in. And here's the master bed WITH mattresses. Now all we need is the bedding (and toilets, sinks, and showers) The excavator is bedding down the last loop of geothermal tubes. It looks stormy so it's a good time to head back to Livingston.
