More Steps Toward Completion

Today, Wednesday, February 23, Hans had some time to go up and view our home and see what new things have been done this week.   As it is a work day, Hans got to visit with several of the workers, meet with the county building inspector and watch things in action.

Hans went to Victor, CO, our new home town, and opened our official mailbox. PO Box 262, Victor, CO 80860 is our new address.  After having the same address for the past 20 years it will be a new experience for us to go to a post office rather than just get the mail at the curb.  New lifestyle for us all around.

The "stone mason" was on site putting up the cultured stone on the chimney.  Once the chimney is finished he will move into the house and do the fireplaces. Pretty exciting step, as we have visualized this for a long time.

The insulation man was also there, starting to put up the insulation he had with him and he was waiting for the rest of the insulation to be delivered.   We are doing a R23 factor for insulation.   This will keep our home very toasty and warm!  They have sprayed the first layer onto the cement and will then lay the other layer on top.  Once this gets completed and inspected...up goes the drywall!

Hans met the county building inspector on site and the inspector was impressed with everything that has been done to our home, loves our home layout and gave Hans a strong thumbs up for our builder, Steve Copp, with Advantage Log Homes/Above Treeline Construction.  We are very fortunate to have Steve and Dennis, who have given us great guidance, kept us in the loop, calling each week with updates, questions and to make sure we were ok with what has been completed.  We are completely happy with the work and with the commitment that Above Treeline has given us as home owners.

Here are some pictures that Hans took today.  Enjoy!
