July 20 - Delightful day despite the lack of progress

Tom Lenig's guys finished up a few framing details inside the house and worked to complete 16" centers on the inside of the gable ends. They've done about as much as they can until the windows show up one week from Monday.

Tom did a walk through with us to mark all the places that we want electrical outlets. And, the entry door was picked up by Lockridge so it could be shipped back to the manufacturer for modification.

We plan to place our order for all the interior doors this weekend while they are on sale at Menards. We will stain the doors ourselves and save about $3000 from the original estimate for prefinished doors from Lockridge.

Here's the fireplace with the framing for the hearth in place......

We've met some wonderful people here at Lake Sundown. Last evening we sat on the deck at a neighbors house looking at the lake with a glass of wine in our hands. It was delightful. We are looking forward to the day when we can sit on our own deck and enjoy the lake views this fall. The lake level is extremely low right now. The shoreline is receding each day. I've not seen the lake this low. BUT.....IT'S STILL BEAUTIFUL. Can't wait to share it with you all.

Brenda wants to have a picnic in the new house tonight. Got to take advantage of this nice evening!
