Re: House II, Recent Photos

Here are some more up to date pictures of our semi-tractor related project. If I recall, this first one is the overall site showing all of our toys. We moved our camper out there fully intending on staying in it during our ceramic tiling blitz, but our backs hurt so much at the end of each day we went on home to our comfortable bed /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Re: House II, Recent Photos

Here's a rare interior shot showing some of the tile we laid. This is a small powder room which will have a very traditional pedestal sink and such. Most of the other tile has been carefully covered with cardboard so not much else to show. Also, I've learned that this camera has no flash power and lighting is pretty poor in the evenings /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Re: House II, Recent Photos

I just couldn't resist taking a picture of power tools. I was just finishing up the porch frieze boards and loaded all the tools in the truck. I then unloaded the tractor, hooked up my brush cutter and spent a while mowing. Just as I was finishing a quick summer rain shower decided to grace me, my tractor and my truck bed full of tools. This did not make my day, though in the end after a wipe down all was well. Have I mentioned that we can't wait to move /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Re: House II, Recent Photos

RobS,

I just about fell off my chair when I saw the shots. Your house is just awesome.

Nimo showed up today and put our new pole in. The excavators are shooting for next week to dig the power/phone and entry light trench line, water line for the well water lines, septic system, some more stone in the garage, and maybe final grading and such.

Plumber is a few days to go, insulation/rockers are ready for next week. Maybe we will make that 7 week out estimated move date.

Heres the front. The siding guys finished (and cleaned up very well) all but the under porch area as the electrician hasn't put in the recessed lights so the builders crew will have to do it.

Re: House II, Grading

Hoosier,

I really liked your website. I will have to figure out who to do that and do something similar, but after we move, no free time right now.

Rob,

With that set up (tractor, trailer, pickup, etc.) you could be a contractor! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Re: House II, Recent Photos

Wow, your house seems to be moving a lot faster than ours. We had some words with the builder about the siding crew and she must have come down on them. They got a lot done yesterday and had all their scraps picked up. Then she let us know our move in will probably slip out another week or two.

I really like your front porch entry gable. We've been struggling with what to do on ours and you've provided some inspiration. We have some fishscales left so maybe we'll do as you have /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Thanks Mike... I think. Maybe a retirement career for me /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I particularly like the 4 door pickup with the roof rack. All you need is one of the racks that fits in the stake pockets and extends over the cab and you're all set. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

The bed rack won't work with the fifth wheel camper. The roof rack is actually for bicycles, not ladders. It's quite the sight when we head out on a vacation trip. Hmmm, haven't done much of that this year /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
