A Shore Thing: November 2009
http://theshorethinghome.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 23, 2009. You gotta have a good foundation. As any of the fairer sex will tell you, You gotta have a good foundation. Now they may be speaking of a woman's supporting undergarment or a cosmetic usually used as a base for makeup. But the principal is that without a good base, things have a way of slipping, jiggling, shifting and running. It's no different in construction. This past Saturday, November 21st the crew did the grading and back fill. Check out all the pictures here. Over the ye...

A Shore Thing: Framing Update
http://theshorethinghome.blogspot.com/2010/01/framing-update.html
Sunday, January 17, 2010. Betsy and I went to check up on things yesterday. THIS. Is what we saw and as you can see things are progressing nicely with the framing. The mason is building piers to support the front and back porches and we are getting ready to bid those jobs out. The first of the mechanical trades, our plumber will be starting some of his work shortly. If anyone is interested in what's been used to frame the house so far, there's a list HERE. The rest of the stuff is pretty self explanatory.

A Shore Thing: Happpy Hour on the Back Porch
http://theshorethinghome.blogspot.com/2010/04/happpy-hour-on-back-porch.html
Friday, April 16, 2010. Happpy Hour on the Back Porch. I spent last weekend at a Shore Thing so I could do yard work and catch up with construction. Betsy hung out soaking up the view and generally charging up her batteries for her next surgery. Some of the latest pictures. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Happpy Hour on the Back Porch.

A Shore Thing: Moving on to mechanical
http://theshorethinghome.blogspot.com/2010/03/moving-on-to-mechanical.html
Friday, March 12, 2010. Moving on to mechanical. Could do it for a net of $10K. Considers "dual fuel to be state of the art in the heating and cooling world and a notch or two less efficient than that of current best available geothermal systems.". As you can see from the pictures. The windows and doors are all in, the roof felt is down and the shingles are staged for roofing. My next update will be at the end of the month. Stay tuned.

A Shore Thing: Moving forward
http://theshorethinghome.blogspot.com/2010/05/moving-forward.html
Sunday, May 23, 2010. It's been awhile since I've updated you on the construction, almost a month, and I'm delighted to say that things are moving along very well. These pictures. The other day I met with the guys who will be dong the garage doors, the central vac and the insulation. We plan to have all of the sheet rock up by early July so there's going to be a whole bunch of activity between now and then. That's it for now, I'll have more up to date photos next weekend.

A Shore Thing: February 2010
http://theshorethinghome.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 22, 2010. The beat goes on. For a number of reasons I didn't get down to check on things for almost a month and in that time a lot went on. As you an see from these pictures. The framing is pretty well. Done, the porches are under way and the windows are in. The guys couldn't work for about a week because of the snow but once they returned they started on exterior trim work since the weather was going to cooperate. Our plumber has started his rough in.

A Shore Thing: Getting Ready for Drywall
http://theshorethinghome.blogspot.com/2010/07/getting-ready-for-drywall.html
Monday, July 12, 2010. Getting Ready for Drywall. A lot's been happening over at a Shorething. The HVAC work is complete, the plumber, electrician, gas company, and central vac guys have completed their rough ins and everything that needed to be inspected at this point has been. It was especially gratifying to hear the building inspector say that we have a well built house. Only a little work remains to be done on the exterior trim, but we're already take full advantage of our porches. View my complete p...
