Finally we have the the electricity started. We had Michael Kirkland of Kirkland Electric ( 256-357-0159 or 256-493-2499) in Wedowee come by and install the inside panel and the outside meter. I hated that we had to put the meter on the logs, but better than making a hole in the roof. We decided to go underground with the power so we didn't have to touch the roof. Really looks good on the logs...lol...panel box is installed in our room closet. Still have a lil wiring to do but its getting there. Alabama power will be here next week to hook-up the power. I started laying the tile in the laundry room and the guest bath. Both are same color tile but different grout. This tile was made here in Randolph County and is not all that perfect but not bad at all really. Was well worth the price, because we have been shopping and some of the stuff out there today is so thin its scary to think about using. We also have started adding the blue board insulation to the inside of the gable ends. We are double insulating these 2 walls. Then will add the sheet rock to the top of that.You can see in the last pic that the walls will have the pink insulation. Looking up eh?

I know I know...When am I gonna update this blog....I have had many calls about this, glad to see everyone is watching me. Makes me work more...lol...Well I have finished three sides of the chinking. Yay! Finally...then ran out of chink so I had ordered more but its been way to cold to do it. It doesn't adhere to the logs in 20 degree weather....sigh....and the rain just WONT go away no matter how much I sing...lol...sorry bout that God I love the rain you send...just not when I need to work...also I had another trip to take to SC. Aaron finally graduated from his AIT ( Advanced Individual Training ), and is now home. Maybe I can get some work out of him soon...lol...Wyatt, Blake, and I have insulated the upstairs ceilings and closets and finished putting the base flooring . Soon I hope to get all the wiring finished and hooked up so I can work at night with out those dreadful Lil plug up lights. To many cords to trip over....and you know how graceful I am right?....lol...Tonight it's 28 degrees and suppose to be in the upper 40's tomorrow. So if no rain we can chink, after we get back from bring Aaron to the Army to update his paperwork from his graduation completion.I'm two pics from graduation. I love this pic...they look like the Mob Squad...remember that OLD show....telling my age eh? This is the house on the three sides that the chinking is completed. Hard to see I know but look back at some of the older pics....there is a difference. Chat later all....smooches
