9.18.2018 - First pole barn inspection!

Jim and I say all the time how blessed we feel to live in this part of the country where natural disasters are very few and far between.  Unless you don't like snow, we think the weather is just perfect here.  After all the news stories and deaths from Hurricane Florence, we are once again reminded of that fact.

However...we did get some rain overnight last night from the hurricane.  For the most part, our post holes survived great.  There are maybe 3 in the front that got some dirt runoff from the driveway that Jim will have to dig out.  It's a bit soft today to worry with them right now, so Jim will wait on that.


This morning, Jim arranged with the building inspector to come and look at the concrete in the post holes after lunch (the inspector wasn't in yesterday).  He came and we passed our inspection so we can move forward!  In fact, the inspector told Jim that he doesn't need to come back until it's all finished so that's nice!

Jim also finalized the snow blower transaction today so now we will just wait on shipping bids - great news!

Since it was too wet to work on the post holes, Jim did a lot of window work today - here he's got the top sashes of both kitchen windows out.  He also did more work on the wood shop windows - those are getting close to being done.  In fact, one is totally done and Jim was able to rehang the blind.


We had one light fixture left to hang in the hallway - the fixture was up in the attic space.  When Jim was working on the vent, he brought it down and got it hung up today.  Looks so nice!


Jim also spent a little time this afternoon cleaning up my car.  I'm getting ready to make a quick trip back to Ohio for my nephew's wedding.  I'll do my best to keep up with the blog - otherwise, look for a recap when I get home!
