Over a month later...
And there is no way we'll be moved in by October 1st. Sigh.
But I am here to post new pictures. When someone asked me recently if we had shingles, I knew it was long overdue!
We now have the plumbing, electrical and HVAC roughed in (mostly), the log siding installed on the gable ends and dormers, and the tongue and groove wood ceiling installed in the main living area. Tubs and showers are on site and (mostly) installed, and 2 bathrooms and the kitchen have tile. The kitchen cabinets are installed, and bathroom vanities are on site, except the custom vanity to be built in the master bath. Countertops should be in this week. Our custom tiled shower in the master bath should be built by next week.
We are waiting on drywall, and once that is up, hopefully it will go faster. There are so many things that we have ready that cannot be done until after the drywall is complete - such as light fixtures, flooring, toilets and vanities, etc.
In order to have our CO (Certificate of Occupancy) by Oct 1st, we would've had to order our final inspection by Sept 10th - that was Monday. As you can see, we are no where near ready for that!
Every evening a most of every weekend we are doing what we can ourselves, mostly caulking. We have to caulk between each and every log, and we are nearly finished with the inside. The outside will take longer - as it is so high up! After caulking we will sand and stain the inside logs first, then outside.
Anyway - we are still chugging along - and of course, still coveting your prayers! Thanks for checking in with us...

wow! Unreal the progress in one month ... but I am so sorry that Oct 15th isn't going to work for you ... how soon do you think? I love the look of the house, and the scenery seems to be just a perfect backdrop for the woods!
Thanks for the update, and I am thinking of you as you take it to the homestretch ....
