End of 2008

Garage ceiling
Dining room and bedroom

Living room ceiling


Wow I can hardly believe that 2008 is over. This year has been another crazy year. The addition of building a house has added much stress and excitement to our lives. After 3 and 1/2 months, we are over half way done and hope to be in it early spring. We do not have an official target day. We figure, if we don't have a date, it is less stressful. Damon has all the ceilings sheetrocked!! Yeah! We are now waiting on the insulation man who should be here next Monday. The holiday season slows all production down. People seem to think they need a break or something!!! Damon has even got a little bit of rest!! We are excited for what 2009 brings. Thanks for follow are blog. (even if a post so infrequently!!!)

Slow but sure!!

I do not have any updated pictures to post but we continue to make progress, slow but sure. We had our electrical inspection and it went well. We can now start sheet rocking. The weather has not been very kind. Most of the days last week, the highs were below 0. Got to love Montana weather. Damon continued to work but it made it more difficult!! Hopefully soon we can get the insulation in and then we can have heat. Yeah!!

There is life on Primo!!

Garage doors!
Partial Front Door!

Front door Again! (from the inside)


Lots wiring and the heater!!



My deepest apologies for not posting in a few weeks but there has been lots of activity at Primo. The garage doors are in. Yeah!! Now we can lock up at night. Also all the wiring has been pulled!! Yeah!!! A BIG thanks goes out to my dad for all his hard work. Our front door frame and side window is in but the main door is coming next week. All the rough-in plumbing is done also. Damon plans on finishing up the plumbing himself. So there is lots of work to be done there. The heating contractor has been there. The heater is in the basement and Damon has cut all the vent holes. Once we get the lid sheetrocked we can insulate!! Our kitchen cabinet have been chosen and are on order. We have also been shopping for flooring and bathroom cabinets. If anyone has any suggestions, PLEASE feel free to comment. Some of the flooring has been more difficult than anticipated but I am sure it will work out in the end:> Optimism goes a long way. We have also put a for sale sign out in front of the house on Grand. We are going to try and sell it ourselves. If we don't get much interest within the next couple of months then we will try a real estate agent. Not the best time to try and sell a house, with Christmas and all, but you have to start sometime. Blake said we don't have to sell the house. We could just take the sign down!! Hopefully, we will get some interest in the house!! If you know anyone who wants a cute little house in Butte send them our way!! As you can see lots of activity HAS been happening at Primo!!
