Beantown Bugle: The Build: 10/27/2013: Day 113

Well you haven't heard any news for about a week now, but things have been busy. The work on the stair continues and is approximately 85% complete. Tim called in the cavalry over the weekend with Russ taking over and completing a majority of the baseboard throughout the house. This allowed us to do a round of cleaning upstairs and get the bedroom furniture in place. The office and the foyer remain a construction zone and the living room is also a dirty room but ready to be cleaned. The Dining Room and Family Room have been, sanded, scuffed, sealed and finished.

Dad and Roddie were able to hit HD & Lowe's over the weekend to purchase most of the closet equipment and materials which are now ready for fabrication and install. The last of the vent openings was cut in the siding at the attic level. Roddie closet door hardware has also been installed. My own work has slowed to a crawl due to re-aggravating an old back problem.

Last week brought some great news on the camper status. Shauna's most excellent craig's list ad reeled in a buyer from New Brunswick Canada of all places. We met Ron last week and came to agreement on a price easily. A deposit was left and the current plan is for the buyer to pick up later this week. This development is a big relief and saves a massive amount of hassle as you might expect.

Current plan is for a Wednesday 10/30/12 Final Inspection with the building department. All fingers are crossed.
