The siding and trim is all done and ready for paint! Kelly and I are thinking about doing the paint work ourselves. Painters are hard to find right now and it will save us some money, so it makes a lot of sense. We are going to have to let it cool down a bit though, we're looking at temperatures over 100 degrees for the next 6 days!
I had to go up to the cabin to do an inspection this afternoon so the bank will release more money. Since I was there and the weather was so nice, I decided to finish the stairs before I came home. Now there is only 1 more retaining wall to build up between the driveway and the tool shed. We don't plan to do that one this year though. Next we will finish the sprinkler system and fix the fire pit.
Since all the drywall had to come out, we decided to increase the size of our bedroom window. It is now 6" wider and 18" taller than it was before. We also changed it to a single window rather than 3 separate windows. Add the vaulted ceilings and our bedroom will feel so much bigger than it did before.
Today was the day to finally rebuild the stairs closer to the lake that we tore apart last year in order to build the set on the street side of the cabin. Before we could do that though, we had to finish installing the sprinkler lines that run along the house and up to the shed, between the retaining walls and up to the sitting area. With all that we only had time to finish 2 steps this weekend.
We finished installing the heat transfer plates in the cabin this weekend, but we didn't hook up the manifold. Since I had to make a trip to Post Falls last night, I decided to run up to the cabin and hook it up so I can call for the plumbing and electrical inspections tomorrow.
