Drywall

The main floor has been drywalled and the taping started this week. Next week we will be painting. In the basement, Murray, his son Ian and Steve, have finished all partitions and outside wall framing and sound attenuation. The electrical rough-in is done, and insulation will be starting on perimeter walls prior to drywall installation.

Photos are the main floor bedroom, living room, kitchen and dining looking through to the screen porch and the last is from the entrance looking through the living room to the lake. The opening in the hall to living room wall is for our stained glass window from Conger St.

Septic System and Grading

December saw the septic system installed and the grading raised as well as the new driveway installed. This changed the look of the site and brought the scale of the house and detached garage down. In the spring the grades will be topped off as the final landscaping is completed.

You will notice the snow on the roof as winter arrived and interrupted all those other outdoor jobs such as painting trim and stone veneer on the lower portions of some walls and the base of the verandah posts. You will just have to visualize the "canyon clay" colour trim and the "Bucks County Country Ledgerock" stone facing on the post bases and where the white tyvek is exposed. Spring will arrive soon enough for these to be completed.
