We have actually spent a couple of nights (3 now) in our project. The daytime weather has been unusually warm for November, and the night time has been pretty nice. The Lord is good – all the time (yes, even if it wasn’t temperate), and we are thankful for pleasant evenings, especially since we have no doors or windows installed!
Everything seems to cost more than we thought, so of course we’re running out of funds. We really need to establish water and power; we really want to get up doors, windows, and heating before winter hits.
Again, wiring is done for 110 and low voltage lighting, although I also want to add low volt receptacles before drywall. Tomorrow, Mike R is going to help me with the water tank and getting water into the house. The generator is in for a tune-up and propane fittings. The propane company wants us to put in huge tanks because of our questionable road; it’s a good deal for getting a great price ($1.99 per gallon for 1st fill vs. market price later (@$3.50)), but it’s a lot more money up front. Two free 500 gallon tanks, filled to 400 gallons, equals.... yikes! $1600! All the interior and exterior doors have been purchased, but only a few of the windows have been bought.
My commute has not been pleasant, since I’d gotten used to avoiding the freeways. My very first commute had major accidents slowing both ends of my commute. Fortunately, it’s been a conference week without students, but the travel is a planned inconvenience.
More later, Steve.
