2011.04.03 - We hope to make progress this summer

After a cold winter, we're anxious to get back to work on the house. We have a number of goals to accomplish before next winter. We want to get the roof waterproofed and bermed once and for all. We want to close the house in and get the exterior doors and windows installed. To that end, we've begun taking bids on doors and windows and I've put in an order for the steel framing material that we'll use to close in the openings in our concrete structure.

Rachel and I installed hangers in the garage so that we can finally make our "warehouse" a little more useable. The floor space had been used up by various building materials and having the wall set up for storage, this frees up some of our floor space for other things. If we're going to be moving forward this summer, we'll need to utilize our space more efficiently.

We have more to do in the garage to reclaim floor space and store away the materials we have in a better way. Hopefully, we wont allow the storage area to be used as inefficiently as we allowed before.

Hopefully, in a month or so, I should be able to report progress again. We'll see.
