The Pace Has Slowed...

In case you haven't heard... we fired our General Contractor..
It may be awhile before I post again..
I'm left with sub-contracting out the hard stuff (mainly drywall),
concrete(back sun-room & driveway) ,flooring and cabinets.

I plan to do a lot of work myself, so it could be a slow go..
I am shooting to have the drywall installed and primed by the end of June.

That's all for now...

DAY 26 & 27


If you are into plumbing... these should excite you..
The end of the insulation upstairs...I promise.. no more insulation or plumbing shots.
The rear Sunroom roof went on today.. the picture makes it look smaller than it really is.. it's 15' x 16'



Half bath window is in...

That's all for now.. the weather should be a bit better this week.. no rain and slightly warmer temps.
