WE'RE BACK!!!

Dear Friends and Family,

Nick and I have had a whirl wind winter. We have both been working extremely hard to make our dream true. Nick is working day and night 7 days a week at the house. He got a total of 2 days on the skis and one day of ice climbing. I have been working long hours to keep the project moving (sole money maker right now). Myself 3 days on the skis and zero days on the ice...YIKES!


We spent the holidays in NJ with my parents. It was snowy but pleasant! Nice break from the project.

NEXT WEEK... wood floors and cabinets

Merry Christmas!

For the past month Nick and Eric have been very busy. The boys have framed in all of the rooms and installed the heat tubes for the upstairs in floor heating system. The outside of the house is almost completely done! The siding is finished and the deck is half way there! Stucco is now complete as well! Nick in his spare time has been doing plumbing *which is almost complete and the required air to air heat exchange (HRV). Here are some pictures that capture some of their hard work.

Notice the tubes on the floor, they will heat the floor which will be our main heat source. The tubes will be covered with concrete and then we will lay bamboo flooring on top of the concrete. You can also see the sink rough in plumbing on the left and the air to air heat exchanger vent in the island.

New Look!

POP-OUT without SIDING

We thought it was time to change our look, since winter is on its way and our house is transforming.  We are thrilled with the progress. Generally speaking we are on schedule, however, Ridgway is due to get its first big snow storm this week. The exterior is almost complete. Nick will be working on plumbing, heating, venting, and electric the next couple of months... he is really looking forward to it (just joking).  

POP-OUT with SIDING as well as SOFFIT

Having sooooo much FUN!

SOFFIT FEVER!

Manager is still on site

We had a bit of a crisis on our hands when a cow "busted" out of its pen. 
The most action Ridgway police has had in a long time. 

Wass Homestead Update

Ridgway's weather has been cooperating nicely (so far) with our project.

Sewer and water lines are in. "CHECK"

We even had a little help from Dad Wasser!

And our dear friends Kevin and Chelsea.
