Lots of progress!
Sunday August 10 was a day of rest! Yay! Over the next 5 days we made rapid progress toward completing the seemingly never ending projects that needed to be completed before we could actually start raising the timberframe. We are so glad to be almost done with the foundation and site prep!
Continue readingWe went home to NY and spent two weeks taking care of some business. The cats were very excited to be home. What they didn’t realize was that one of the things on the agenda at home was for them to have a visit with the vet!
The 4th of July holiday weekend killed our momentum a bit, but on Monday July 7, Paul came over to help build up a boulder retaining wall on a steeply sloped section of fill. The boulders we used were all pulled out of the ground when excavating for the foundation. Paul picked up boulders using the excavator and placed them where Rob indicated. It’s not finished yet, but it looks pretty good so far!
Construction begins!!!
We got a text on June 24 from Wayne (our building contractor) that Teresa (our excavation contractor) would be showing up on Wednesday June 25 to start excavating our foundation hole. YAAY!! Construction can finally begin!
Waiting…
We last posted May 23 and we were hoping to begin the foundation excavation soon. Well, nothing has happened in the past month! We are enjoying camping in our “House Building” campsite near the head of our driveway where we will be out of the way when construction begins.
Hello Again Friends & Family! It’s been awhile since we posted to the blog. We hope you are all doing well! In 2024 we stuck close to home, not doing much traveling except to go to our land in Maine for about 4 weeks last Fall. In early 2025 we went to Maryland for a few days to visit Vicki’s Step-Mom Gail. It was great to see you Gail!

GETTING BETTER
Day 165 – I’m continuing to feel better each day though I still have problems reading and writing. My speech continues to improve, but I still need help with words. Nonetheless, we are extremely thankful that things are coming along as well as they are! I walked a few times around the nursing station with Rob’s help. Rob stayed all day again. I miss the cats!! Rob says I am smiling a lot when he comes in the morning.
