We are trying to get it cleaned up and ready for landscaping
before the weather turns anyway it went really well today until I found a way to get the backhoe stuck. I am a little worried it never got out of the fifties today and it is supposed to freeze tonight and I have a lot to to before it is to cold to varnish the ceiling.

These show one more step to getting the house closed up for the winter. Yesterday while kneeling on the roof putting on the foam I hadn't noticed but the roof was so hot I burnt my knees, so today was really hard to continue kneeling but I got it done.

We had a nice bike ride up and back to the timber show , I talked to Ken Oaks for almost 2 hours about the Garn wood boiler. Today I put flashing up on second floor attached the foam and covered it all with the sticky fiber mesh. I have high hopes that I will be able to finish the stucco on Sunday.Thursday, September 17, 2009
It has been a very productive week, all of the first floor sofit has been applied and trimmed to length. Wednesday evening I picked up the doors and hardware what a load that was. We installed all three doors and hardware today, they look great. Tomorrow Mary and I are heading up to Grand Rapids 
they are having a lumber show and the Garn boiler will be on display. We need to make a final decision on the heating system and as of this time it is the Seton boiler or the Garn boiler.

Get the glass cleaner out
all of the windows went in today and we need to get the tags off. Any way it went really good today and we need to pick up the doors and get them in tomorrow.

On labor day I went up and started cutting trees for the electrical service. Today we went up and started putting in the windows I only fit 9 of the fifteen windows on the trailer and they were almost all left opening, oops. On Wednesday I will take up the last six windows (right) opening and we will get them in. I was really worried about mulling two windows together but the Pella windows go together like a charm.

This is a true blue ribbon week, We closed wall 18 on Monday
, wall 19 on Tuesday and wall 20 THE LAST WALL on Friday! We are very excited and at this time it is still to new to be nostalgic about the last wall. We started the cord wood on May 10Th and here it is September 4Th. It has been a long road up hill and barefoot in the snow but it is done. I would like to thank my brother for his over the top support.

Yes ladies and gentleman we closed up two walls in two days! Wall panel 18 and 19 are history, I must say that wall 19 was only the 15 inches above the door but it counts. The last hanging has also taken place the double window box for the last wall has been assembled and hung.
