feb 2, 2015 update

the last two weeks has brought some progress.  the inside part i am drywalling now is completed and textured, ready to paint.  today clarke and i put the trim on the attic access panel.  painters will be here tomorrow.  i drywalled the entire front wall where the garage doors are, and the top 12' on the rest of the shop.  the rest will be done later.  

the rain of last week took up about 3-4 days.  things are just now drying out.  

the stucco has the final sand finish coat on and i am waiting a full 4 weeks for it to cure before we paint the outside.  that way any cracks that show up can be taken care of.  the fine sand finish is notorius for cracking.  

i had the side of the shop yard shot with a transit before they put in the rv dumps and bury the septic.  they had put 1 ft risers on top of the tank and at final grade they would have been sticking out of the ground, so today they removed them, put in the 2 rv dumps and buried it all.  i had them stub the rv dumps up in the air and i will cut them off later at the right final grade.  

it is getting there.  now i have to trench for the water service (i am doing that myself), do the finish plumbing inside that we are doing now...basically the toilet and sink drains/hookups.  and outside and inside hose bibs.  

once the inside is painted (hopefully done this week) then the inside electrical can be done that is going to be done.  (lights on the ceiling, outlets, etc.).  and hook up the 200a service.  

the 4 weeks for the stucco is up on the 13th.  once that is done we will paint the outside and then i can do the outside electrical which will take me a few days.  

so, moving slowly, but moving.
