Dreary, Cold Weekend
The weather in Arkansas went from summer like highs in the 90's to winter highs of the mid 50's over the last week or so. Apparently, fall was optional and omitted this year. Since we're still working on the Queen's exterior, we've really noticed the temperature change.
I can't wait until I get to fire up the pressure washer next week.
Our digital camera is still AWOL, so no pictures of the Queen. It's a shame because there are some visible signs of progress. Our plumbing is 99% finished. We need do a few minor things and we can check the system. Then, the water will be turned on. A working bathroom is nearly inevitable after that. We also have working lights in the our kitchen. The last hole in the exterior siding was enclosed, and I began sealing in the crawlspace.
We are gluttons for punishment (and disappointment), so we're setting January 1st as an arbitrary deadline for moving into the Queen. For this to happen, we need to close in a couple gaping holes in the floor, re-install about 6 ceiling boards (1 in the living room, five in the main hall), have a working kitchen (install cabinets, counter top, sink, and stove), have a working bathroom, wire up the ac/heat unit (should happen this week), replace one pane of glass, and finish two bedrooms. Oh, and the additions will need ceilings. Proper front steps would be nice too.
What can I say? We're crack heads, very ambitious crack heads.
