Hey! It's been a while, hasn't it? Sorry we didn't talk last week, I just moved into a new house and it was a little hectic on the (new) home front, but now we're mostly settled in so I'm back! The past two weeks have been fun though, mostly focused on getting the porches finished by applying lots of layers on top...fancy plywood, then water and ice shield, then tar paper, then 1"x4" planks so the screws holding down the metal don't shine through the fancy plywood, and then the metal. Somebody's gotta make sure you folks stay cool and dry when you're lounging out there in the rain or shine. All in all I think they turned out great, and the shade they provide certainly help us out now more than ever. It also happened that we finished up the porches with enough spare time today to set the entrance door to the atrium! Only the first of many. Tomorrow we'll tackle the rest of them.
As for the interior we've been pretty hands off as a lot of different sub contractors have been doing their thing inside. All the rooms now have drywall from floor to ceiling, and the taping crew has been busy walking around on their crazy stilts sealing up the joints and covering nail holes with drywall mud.
Apparently they're really easy to walk on, the feet articulate like a real foot as you walk and everything. I think they'd be applicable in everyday life, don't you? Needless to say I was not allowed to try them on.
Anyways, here's a sunny end-of-the-day photo with the porches all finished up. As for the upward facing metal that's all she wrote, but next comes the metal siding and I bet we'll start with that next week. I hope a lot of you are lucky enough to get to come out to at least one of the farm dinners this weekend and check everything out. The gourmet meal is just icing on the cake compared with bearing witness to the brilliance of the gleaming edifice we have erected in the name of sustainable agriculture. But, whether or not you're coming for the food or just to check out the farm stand, I hope you enjoy it either way.
