Shady Rest going up...

DVerbarg,
At this point, I just could not justify another heat system in addtion to propane forced air & wood burner. Maybe I'm wrong, but... see picture...

Re: Shady Rest has walls...

Here's a pic of 3 2nd floor walls being complete. This is from 2 days ago. Today, the actual roof sheathing is complete /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif. I will post a pic tomorrow evening... Things have rolled along this week. I am trying to get the front acre or two ready to seed...

Looks like all going well,and a darn nice looking basement for a handy man.

Wow, coming along very nicely Shade. I take it that's a porch on the front?

Our second floor walls should be all done now, though I didn't get by there last night to see. Been kind of chaotic for us as we put our current house on the market Tuesday. Will have had six showings by noon today and have already turned down one offer. Good to know we're getting traffic anyway. I'll get some fresh pictures out there tonight.

At the rate you're progressing, you should be in long before us /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Re: Shady Rest going up...

Your probably better off not adding more. We kept adding more and ran about 30% over budget /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif!

Pics look great! Must be pretty excited. Or are you too tired? Personally love this part of the contruction phase, watching everything take shape and form.

Keep posting the pics.

RobS,
That is a 34'X8' porch on the front (begging for a 6' swing)... The 2nd floor is pretty dramatic. I also have been trying to get our current house ready for market. I haven't been on it like I should. I keep saying that the tractor work at the new house MUST be done... but I think that I'm avoiding the non-tractor work at the old house /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif. What's that word...?...DISCIPLINE /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif
Here's the latest pic from today. The roof sheeting is done. Things still are going well (knock on wood). I spent this evening grading the front acre & 1/2 with the boxblade & drag. Tomorrow I will pick up a lot of straw & rake to prepare for seeding if weather permits.
My sister found me here... oh no! /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif

Re: Shady Rest has walls...

Looks fantastic! You're gonna love the porch! Our current house has a five foot deep porch (with four foot swing) and the new one will have a deeper one yet. It's one of our favorite "rooms" in the house.

I'm very envious that you're getting all this work done with so little tear up to your "yard". I've got a lot of grading time ahead of me, which is OK from a tractor time standpoint, but not so much from an overall time view. Things will be less hectic when we sell this house.

I know exactly what you mean about prioritization on the current house projects. It's doubly hard when you know those efforts are going to some future owner. We buckled down a couple of weekends ago and got a lot of stuff done. The worst part now is trying to keep it clean for the showings /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

I saw that your sister found you. Hope none of mine find me, they might wonder what I'm not getting done that I should be /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
