Happy Holidays Faithful Followers,
Another one of those weeks where you go two steps forward and four steps back.
First, I am informed by the county that they have a new mandate for uplift(wind)
and roof snow load and because we are new construction we fall under it. So, I
have to pay engineering to draw up plans to follow this mandate(they try and squeeze
every f____ dime out of you). Now Paul (my builder) and I have to go around the
house putting straps and braces so we can pass inspection. Fun time on the ladder
putting in lag bolts. Second, after framing the fireplace and bookshelf area our
local supplier informs us the fireplace we ordered 3 months ago was discontinued
and there are no others with those specs. Because it was their mistake they sent
us another one(more expensive) but it was larger. So, the past two days we spent
tearing down and rebuilding that area. As I left today we finally got it in and the
plumber was hooking up the propane. We finally also have our Front door in and
all the outside windows (yeah). I'm ready for a break. Pickup Diane and her Dad
Xmas eve from Seattle and will have a nice holiday week in Sequim. My son and
grandson will also join us. Well here are some pics. Stay Thirsty my friends.
