Here we are nearly 50% done. Just keep chugging along. It's all ladder work from here on out.

Anybody still out there?
Well this winter represented mostly a hiatus from the project; life (and other stuff intervened). Anne and I just got back from Italy (her first trip) a few weeks ago and the urge to start back on the project finally emerged. This weekend, with the help of my neighbors (including newly minted Eagle Scout Josh), we poured a concrete pier anchored to ledge. This will hopefully become the base for our wireless internet tower.
On Sunday I got back onto the siding. Only 3 courses around before I ran out of screws. Back to it again this weekend if the weather is good. We will run out of siding soon and will need to get some more.
Paul and Eliza will be coming up in a couple of weeks to help with the siding and maybe the countertops. That's right, we still do not have finished countertops. Our intention is still to pour concrete countertops and we hope to get to that soon.
In other news, we are now working with Paul to see if we can finish up the requirements for LEED for Homes. For those unfamiliar with this, it is a program run by the US Green Building Council that certifies sustainable or "green" homes. We think we may qualify for Silver certification but there are a number of hurdles to get past. I will be posting a bit more regularly on that topic as we make our way through the unwieldy process.
More pictures coming soon. In the meantime, I'll post some photos from our recent trip.
