March update

Posted to candlepower by Don in Lansing, IA on 3/20/2007

Well we survived another winter and are looking forward to spring. The staining and finishing is coming along slowly but surely. As you can see, most of the doors don't have knobs yet, but they are bought and ready to be installed after the poly is put on. Once the outside temps get into the 60's we will push to get on to that project.

We really like this house. It was very comfortable all winter inside. This in-floor heat is the only way to go.

The garage did not get below freezing till we had two weeks of below-zero temps. Next year I will have the in-floor heat hooked up so I can spend some time in the wood shop.

That's about it for now. The Goldwing is whining, so come on spring! Sorry about the doubles.

Move in

Posted to candlepower by Don in Lansing, IA on 11/22/2006

Well after a long month of hard work and long hours we have moved in.
On Nov.19 we hired a moving company to load and haul the large stuff down to the new house. That was money well spent. We still have a lot of other stuff to move but we have till the first of Dec.
The house is about 90% done. Base board and door frame trim is done.Windows are not done but we can do them over the winter. We stained and put finished all the trim first. that took some time. There are a lot of pieces.
The floors are all in and look great. The snap down laminate went in without a hitch. We decided after doing 4 rooms
we were experts.

update

Posted to candlepower by Don in Lansing, IA on 10/8/2006

Well I finally sat down to send pictures and give an update.The upstairs walls are painted and all the switches and plugins
are operational. We did have to pull a new thermostat wire. It took a little thinking but it's a good thing we left the
closet ceilings unsheet rocked. This gave us access to all the utilities that are in the floor trusses. The kitchen cabinets are up. so now we can order the counter tops. Next on the list is putting down the vinyl floor in the upstairs bath. Ted and his crew crew came and layed the slab in front of the garage. Boy that is nice The next day they came back and pored the walkway around the side door. It looked good till the dog from down the road decided to walk across it, Good thing Ted came back. He fixed it up so you can't see the tracks. That was nice.
  Seven rooms are painted only five left. The trim  and the carpet is ordered.

Downstairs

Posted to candlepower by Don in Lansing, IA on 9/15/2006

It's been a long 3 weeks. We finally gone the downstairs wired and plumbed. It took alot of time and in did not seem like  we got anything done. All the insulation in the rim joist area is also completed.
Joel has also completed the taping and spraying of the upstairs. Let the painting begin.
The Drywall hangers came in and completed the downstairs, Them guys can fly!  Joel will start taping today.
The power company came and transfered the power to the main box. We now have water into the house. But I have not  hooked it up to anything yet. Soon I think.
We made a trip to Menards, one of many and got most of the paint for the interior walls. The van was loaded down. The fun
can now start.

Skid loader made short work of it.The stacks of panels looked like books. The holes in them are the electrical chases.should be interesting pulling wire.By the end of the day they had the back wall up Now it's starting to look like the start of a house.

The start

Posted to candlepower by Don in Lansing, IA on 6/19/2006

Hi to all
This all started because of a For Sale sign I saw on the way to work. We moved to this area about 8 years ago.Bought a house in town
but kept a thought in the back of our minds to find an acreage someday. It had to be on a hard surface road because the Goldwing
does not like dirt.Then the sign showed up. We bought the land.Sold our house Moved into a rental.And now have started to build.
Back with more later
