Doing Some Sweat Equity

Today we had the opportunity to do a little sweat equity.  In theory we saved maybe $100.  Not much but hope it will go towards a tree, a fence, or a sprinkler system.  So many choices and so much need...   Thank goodness Ryan arrived and saved us because we were moving too slow, were too fanatical in our sweeping and cleaning, and lacked some of the basic equipment.

The new fireplace has been installed so we are ready to use some of the wood we've been cutting for the last several months!

We also reloaded the deer feeder and attempted to change out the video card.  Alas the batteries were dead on the game cam...  What will we miss????

In theory, we have our big inspection this week where all the electrical, plumbing, and HT/AC lines are checked out before the insulation and drywall get installed.

Also noticed that the painter had begun exterior caulking and prep work for paint.  We may have some color this week!  When the painter is finished with the exterior paint, the roof can be installed.  So we're moving along.
