Progress has been slow. We've had a very snowy and wet late fall & winter. We were finally able to get a roof and shingles on. Last Tuesday (December 28), our windows from RP lumber came in. We ended up getting what we originally wanted. Andersen 200 series, clay on the outside with grids and wooden on the inside, painted white. Due to the trouble we had with the former builder, RP gave us those windows at about 25% off.
This week, if weather permits, the windows and doors will be installs. This is HUGE. This will allow is to get the electrical and plumbing done and the heating and cooling.
Weidner refrigeration has been out working on the geothermal and they have all of the duct work complete. They just need to drill the wells and bring in the furnace and finish up. I'm not sure how much time all of that will take.
I posted earlier that we finally have a well. The hope to finish up that work tomorrow. Things have been moving very slow simply because we've been waiting on windows to come in and now waiting on the framing crew. Hopefully things will start moving faster here in a couple of weeks. We are all a little cramped in this rental and we really want our new house.
Other odds and ends -- Mom and Dad asked what Mark and I wanted for Christmas. We are living in this little rental and we really don't have a lot of space and any kind of "hobby" gift, well there is just no time. I had an idea though and ran it past Mark. I really wanted a nice ceiling fan/light fixture for the great room. He agreed. Mom and Dad said that would be fine with them too. I went to Chicago for work a couple of weeks before Christmas and there was a Home Depot not far from my hotel. I went in to see if they had anything. They had the PERFECT fan/ceiling light and it was exactly what Mom said I could spend. So I picked it up. I can't wait to see how it looks in the finished room.
