A Door for the Leaning Building

The spot where the door is going to go, from the inside view.

This past weekend, despite working on several projects simultaneously, the fella completed putting a door into the leaning building.

Are You Afraid of the Dark?

*Disclaimer….ummm..apparently I didn’t set a date to publish this entry I wrote back in the beginning of December. Good job, Jenna. Way to be on top of things! 

In my last homestead entry I mentioned that Tyler was hoping for the weather to hold off so he could shingle the west side of the shed. 

The West Side

First, the completed east side of the shed.

The east side.

Ta-da!

And by completed, I mean the basics are finished. (We are working against Mother Nature here people, aesthetics are not a top priority). 

Tyler’s Tour (Part III)

The final part of the pre-dry wall tour. Scroll down to see the tour from Tyler’s perspective from the beginning.

Tyler’s Tour (Part 1b and 2)

I am headed on a trip with my lovely mother this weekend, so here’s a couple of posts to finish off Tyler’s tours (pre-drywall; which should be completed soon!

Tyler’s Tour (Part I)

On the anniversary of us becoming homeowners, Tyler and I recorded a video tour of the house, pre-dry wall. He hasn’t spoken much about the house process since last fall and so there are blog posts here and there about what was happening, but all from my point of view. Albeit hilariously inaccurate at times, my point of view would not be helpful to the mechanically-minded person.

WATER!

The Second Electric Panel

So….I was updating the blog here and noticed I had a post written quite awhile ago that I forgot to publish. This is said post. It was written this winter. Better late than never, right? 

Besides the electrical panel in the basement, Tyler also wanted his own panel in the garage. This is practical in many ways (do you like running an electrical cord from inside your house to power your air compressor?), but I found it in interesting that he put it in himself.

Here Comes the Sun

THE EXCITEMENT IS UNCONTAINABLE!

After the electric inspector okayed everything, Tyler called up the insulation crew. We decided on foam insulation to really make sure the house is buttoned up well. The company was able to come out two days after the phone call due to the unseasonably warm weather we are having this week. It was a Pedersen miracle!

Spring Fever

This is what our road has looked like for the past six weeks or so…..

So, with the beautiful weather we were having today (it was 60 degrees!), I took a walk down to the house, through the muddy trap known as tenth street (our gravel road) and did a little video to show you where things are so far.
