What a beautiful day on the Klossner mountain. Blue skies, some wind, but temperatures about 40 degrees. Each time we visit, and we try to go up at least one day of each weekend, we see a bit more progress on our future home.
Today we are happy to report that our porch has taken some shape. The support column logs are in place and the framing has begun. There is a temporary subfloor so the guys can work on getting it attached to the house and work on the roof that will cover the porch.
Our propane tank has been buried. It looks like a submarine coming up from the deep sea. We have dubbed it the "SS Klossner". The nice thing about this is that the only thing we will see is the "lid". It looks very similar to a sewer lid. I can certainly landscape around it.
The power lines are being laid from the power box to the house, furnace ducts are being brought in for installation and the internal plumbing has begun.
Hans and I wander through the rooms, as they have been defined, and talk about where we are going to put furniture, what will fit where, and dream our dream. We gaze out our future window at the beautiful view we are going to be privileged to see each and every day.
We don't do much, as what we want to do we would be foolish to even try until the construction is complete. Time will soon be here when all the things we want to do become ALL THE THINGS WE NEED TO DO!!! For now, we have to be content to just watch and view the work of others.
Pictures to share with you...
