This would be the number of days we’ve been living in our motor home while we build our new house. I probably shouldn’t be counting the days but every now and then curiosity gets the best of me and I can’t help but wonder how long it has been.

Our latest progress has been shifting Ben’s time over to finishing the shop so that we can move all of his woodworking tools home. It looks like insulation will go in the walls this week and we’ll start hanging drywall next week in the shop.

I’ve been spending my time sanding the post and beams in the house. The wood was exposed to sun and rain for about two months before the roof was installed leaving water marks and dirt behind. The douglas fir beams really glow after a good sanding. I’m also applying polyurethane to the clean wood to preserve the wood.

We have our slate tile for the entryway & half bath and it’s ready to be installed. I originally thought I would be doing the tile work but I’ve already got too much on my plate. I’m hoping I can get my brother-in-law Cal to start laying tile for me this week.  Also, our toilets are ready to be installed as soon as the floors are installed in the bathrooms.  Our interior doors arrived last week as well which will be my next big project ~ sanding and putting finish on the doors.  What I can’t seem to find is enough time to do all the things I need to do!
