Sorry guys, it's been awhile. Busy, busy, busy!
So Monday they started slappin shingles down but the rain didn't cooperate. Tuesday was better and Wednesday they finished.
Wednesday was also the day for the well installation.
150'
Thursday the insulation of the walls happened.
Today a friend of mine came up from Holland to do the final grade around the barn.
The barn has gone from clean and set up to re-arranged to dirty to I have no idea what it is right now. LOL Temps have dropped and it's pretty cold in there in the morning. Been using a space heater in the office to make it comfortable. Sucks because I can't really set everything up until after the Novi show. No point in putting the stuff "away" only to pull it all down in 2 weeks. Siding guy starts whenever ma nature decides to stop dropping rain on us. Drywall should be arriving tomorrow, cabinets are ordered and the trades are waiting for the drywall and paint to finish up. It's so close I can taste it yet it feels so far away.

Looks like you had your work cut out for ya with this little project...congrats on the new place. We had a similar project with a pole barn and new cabin up in tripoli,wi but we kept the 100 year old house and tried to fix it up until we can afford a new place then leave the old cabin for the kids to mess up when they get old enough.
I Also looked at your website for the first time today...and was wondering if you had any reviews on the video deal? Did anyone say it was worth it...or was one of the videos better than another. I own a couple videos my favorite has to be The "HighLife" one it looks like a miller high life can on the cd but the snowmobile action is amazing. any feedback from anyone would be awesome.

The light is so visiable and it's getting harder to stay patient. LOL
Fun watching it take shape.
We put that Powder Pack together every year. IMO those are the best videos on the market so we bundle them so you have a place to buy at one place and give you a little discount. I've watched them all, some more than 10 times (my son has his favorites) and they are all worth owning.

Quick before I go back.
Siding is I'd say half done but the darn rain keeps ending the day early for the guy. Drywallers are going with mud and tape right now. Garage door and opener were installed, we ordered some of our flooring today.

Congratulations!
Really nice looking place and from where I`m sitting it seems to be coming along rather quickly. But I`m sure you wish it was done already.

It's been slow around the job site, just a result of the stage of the project. The drywall took a couple weeks and now the flooring, cabinets etc....
Cabinets waiting to be installed.
Drywall in stages.
Ceramic Tile installed in all 3 bathrooms. (1 bathroom was too dark for pictures)
Windows all trimmed out, just waiting on base to show up.
The interior doors we picked.
We've picked our hardwood and it's here so that will be next. We decided to go with Hickory, both of us liked the character and the variation of color in the flooring. I'M SO READY TO MOVE IN!!!

Had a couple set backs but we are back on track.
Hardwood floors are in, fireplace is done and cabinets installed. Painter is going to start painting tomorrow.
Only have a couple pictures but we are shooting for being in before Christmas.

I love this thread!
It is Awesome to see how everything is progressing.
(Envious!)
Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure.
Today we FINALLY got our underground power hooked up. The house is now in the hands of the painters. Couple shots of things cleaned up and one of the flooring, what little you can see.

That's how I would have done it but that's not how he does it. He's been painting a long time, million dollar houses so I don't argue. LOL
He will spray all the trim and the doors twice tomorrow then roll the walls.
