Sorry for lack of posts, just been a busy time lately. Last weekend I rented a lift and completed the soffit/facia on the back and siding/soffit facia on the tall side. Lift made it much faster and safer. Had to work around rain showers but got it done.
I also started burying the ditch out back that has the footer drain, gutter drains and conduit for electric to the goat barn. Dressed up a little around the septic system as well.
I’ve also been working on porch railings. They are trex select composite railings. We really like how they are tuning out, and they are not too bad to install, hardest part is measuring and installing the center 4x4. I have over 12’ between posts and couldn’t get one piece railing that long in composite, so the center post is required. Probably makes it more sturdy any way. I am almost done, just waiting on the gate to come in so I can finish one end.
Pictures don’t show all the progress but I’ll get updated ones soon.
Cutting hay has slowed progress this week, and took the kids fishing this evening. Not feeling as much pressure now so trying to do other things. Our standard poodle had 10 pups as well.
Oh yeah, we have been living in the house for a little over two weeks, and we are really enjoying it. It’s nice to be able to use something that we have put so much time and effort in.
Biggest pieces left are siding on dormer, porch ceilings, master shower and interior trim. Should be done by Christmas….
