Roof Started
The roof got underway this past week. It started to snow again and got slippery, so the crew had to quit partway through, but we did get the north side upper sections done. All we need is two good weather days, and it’ll be finished! Continue reading

Siding & Trim
Construction continues! Batts are being added over the siding, door and window trim is being installed, and the flashing for the roof is going up. It needs to be installed before the dormer siding.

More Construction and Farm News
Construction is proceeding at a rapid pace. The rest of the windows and doors were installed today. The stairs were also roughed in, and we can easily get up and down to appreciate the views from the second floor. I definitely prefer going up the stairs in comparison to the ladder! The siding’s been delivered,… Continue reading

They only need about three consecutive days of clear weather, but it doesn’t look like we’ll get that anytime soon.

Winter Storm
