Most Recent House Update

So work has continued on the Wishard house saga. These picture were taken last weekend. You can see that there is still a lot to be done on the house, but progress is being made.

Currently, due to the power outage in most of the north country, Ris, Joe, Randen, and Matt have been camping in the house since it has a woodstove. No water or power in the house, but they hooked the generator up so they can keep working on the house during this storm. As of yesterday, Randen sold out and went to stay with Grandma. Can't blame him!

Here, Ris helps Randen navigate up the stairs. Going around air hoses and power cords.
This is a view of the upstairs. The ceiling is sheetrocked and Annie and Ris started taping it.


This is the main floor. The guys were going to sheetrock the ceiling tonight (Sunday) since there is no TV to watch.

Randen helps Uncle Matt.


Here is Ris standing at the bottom of the stairs. Most of the wiring is done.

While Zach was in the crawlspace for most of the last several weekends working on the HVAC system, Matt and Joe were up in the buckets of the tractors. They have been working on the soffits and all that jazz. This picture of Joe was taken out of the upstairs window.


Matt is working on the soffitt too.



Neither Annie nor Ris decided that they might pursue a career in taping/texturing. Not their bag, baby. They are doing a good job though!


So, even though it is really roughing it to stay down at the cabin when it is not finished, Ris admitted that a lot more work will probably get done this way!

Update: still no power! We only have about 120W or whatever at the other house so we are staying at the neighbors. It is supposed to storm again this weekend:)
