As the Egg hasn’t been doing any rolling the last couple of months, it made for lots of time for house building. We usually worked on it at least four days a week. Finished the outside siding, primed all the raw wood, and got it painted. The pictures were taken on two different days. One cloudy and dull, the other was bright sun.
All the sheetrock finished. and the subfloor screwed down. Air conditioning system also installed and will be working within a few days.
Cabinets built in kitchen and bathroom, along with outlets and switches being installed.
Step stringers were cut out and installed with some temporary treads. Sure beats a concrete block.
We have had lots of rain the past three weeks or so, but thankfully we had completed most of the outside before it arrived.
The power company finally showed up to set a pole and connect our meter. Our old generator was mighty glad to see them. Some have asked why we didn’t get a temporary service pole so we would have power from the beginning. The power company charges to provide the temporary service, and then charges again to move it to the house. Just didn’t want to pay them twice.
With all that work behind me, I hope we can get the Casita back on the road this weekend. Wanda’s moms situation is improving daily, and we plan to hear for Crockett, Texas on Saturday. There’s a gathering of fiberglass trailers near there which we have registered for. Really looking forward to seeing that little white trailer in my rear view mirror, again. Also looking forward to seeing lots of friends again.
From there? Who knows???……jc

ReplyDeleteVery nice house! I am so impressed! And blue is my favorite color.
ReplyDeleteStay safe in your travels...and have a blast!
sorry to hear of your bad news. Hope everything works out and recovery is swift. Will be thinking of ya'll.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the comments. The little house isn't fancy by any means, but it was fun to build. Already getting calls from potential renters. We're taking a break. Brother headed off to Colorado for an elk hunt. We should have it completed by Thanksgiving, hopefully.
ReplyDeleteThat house is shaping up quite nicely. I planned two trips for our Casita today. Going to Perry Oklahoma for a blacksmith meeting middle of Oct and to Steelville Missouri for 2 music shows the last weekend in Oct. I'm sure we will need the heater by then. Thanks for your nice comments tonight!
ReplyDeleteQuite a nice little house. I'm hoping to get out in the RV myself this week.
ReplyDeleteYour house looks very peaceful, particularly in the first picture. I guess that’s the appeal created by the combination of blue siding and earthy environment; warm and peaceful. Also, it’s a relief that everything has been finished before the rain. It'd be such a disappointment if this beauty would just be defaced by rainwater.

I agree with you, Nelson. It can be darn frustrating if everything you was for nothing. But anyway, this is such a beautiful house in the middle of the woods!
