June 28 - Amish are done but Windows are NOT!!!

The Amish finished up by 2:30 pm today. They swept up and stacked any surplus materials in the garage. Got the bill, shook their hands and thanked them all for a job well done....and done fast.

That's the good news.

The bad news is that not one Eagle window has been made yet!!! The lumber yard got an order confirmation from Eagle Windows in late May. But Eagle somehow lost our order and hadn't done a thing about building our windows and sliders! Lockridge Lumber read them the riot act and (supposedly) we'll have the order within two weeks. But that's a setback for us. The Amish crew got us ahead of schedule and now the Eagle Window folks have dropped the ball.
 Great Room

 Kitchen & Dining with Master Bedroom/Bath/WIC behind the stud walls.

Deck view to south.

Great Room with stairwell down in center & front entry on right.

Cigar stations 1-6.




Next up....

  • geothermal system wells may get drilled (in the front yard) in the next couple of weeks
  • finalize with whom to build our kitchen cabinets
  • walk-thru with Tom Lenig for plumbing and electrical rough-in
  • pick out a direct vent gas fireplace
  • measure and order fireplace stone & exterior stone
  • exterior siding is ordered
  • worry about what insulation purchase.....to foam or not to foam

......and wait for those windows.

  1. That sucks about the windows, especially since the other work is ahead of schedule. Take a break and go fishing if the weather lets up and relax.
