The plumbers have started

The house comes together

 


The fire-pit in the yard is serving two purposes. First there is quite a bit of construction debris and scrape lumber and not a lot of rubbish. (NONE) Second, the weather has gotten a bit chillier and it's nice to have a fire.

 At the same time, the county (borough) has decided to work on the road (Hutler). This picture is from the entrance to our driveway.




                                   Burning the crates all the windows were shipped in. They were shipped up from Oregon, all arrived undamaged, and somehow they all fit into the framers holes​.​
                                        The views out the living room windows

                                            Supervising, always supervising.
                            You have to love Alaska. No permits, no inspections, and very few OSHA inspectors. That of coarse makes things go faster and cost less​.​
                                        This little guy came to visit one morning outside of the trailer
                                        A perfect sunny day with all the contractors working hard
       Nancy took this picture on one of her daily walks from the road above the house.                  


We never tire of looking at the glaciers.
                                Always about the supply chain. Gotta keep track of the inventory

The shop and garage are side by side and open to each other.
                                      Three 1550 gallon tanks for the water catchment system. Makes for nice long hot showers!!

The deck is still to come.
 



                                        Nancy's view from the kitchen window. Almost makes doing the dishes worth it​.​
