Getting closer...

Well we're getting closer to being finished. Finally all inspections are done and we were approved on all of them. The electrical inspector only found a couple minor things wrong, so I was happy about that. Tommy, Christy, and I started to work on the insulation today, we should be done by tomorrow thankfully. All of the windows and exterior doors are in, and the house is almost half sided. The drywall arrives Thursday, and the hangers will start Friday hopefully. I decided to contract out all of the drywall, and as it turns out we're still within the bounds of our budget. Amazing! I don't know if we'll be done by the time school starts, but we'll be close! I'll try to post some pictures soon. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the Summer!

Happy 4th!

We've made some progress on the house. Most of the plumbing HVAC, and electrical are done. We should be ready for some inspections this week. The fireplace is in, the stairs down to the basement are done and we should be ready to insulate soon. We took most of last week off for the Fourth of July and it was very nice. We went to Charlevoix and spent some time cleaning up the beach house and hanging out with family. We celebrated our 2nd year anniversary in Petoskey and had dinner in Charlevoix. Summer is almost half over for us, which is very sad. Hope everyone is doing well, we'll update with some pictures later.
