Drywall Begins and the Barn Gets Dried In

Before leaving on yet another trip (which will be highlighted in my next post), John and I went by the farm to see the power path and other progress last Saturday.

The path that Travis cut for the power poles looks great and even if that isn’t the way we ultimately get our power, it will be a fun and easy path to get to the far east side of our property.

The barn is really coming along! The windows and doors (except for the big garage doors) are all in and the walls of the apartment are up. I think the living room will be a really nice size and I love the view off the private barn porch.

I also really like how the colors of the barn complement the colors of the house. I freaked a little, worrying that the barn is too close to the house, but John assures me that it will be very convenient for him as he works in his man cave, errr, I mean, barn.

Other progress included the drywall being installed on the ceilings and some of the walls. I didn’t stay in the house very much while they worked (seriously, these people should wear face masks with all that drywall dust), but I did see that the cement board is also installed around all of the shower/tub areas of the house as well.

It will be exciting to get back from this trip (which will cover John’s birthday and Valentine’s Day) and see the progress and other goodies that are getting delivered (I’m lookin’ at you, cast iron tub!).
Until then, thanks for stopping by!

Hugs, Libby
