Insulation!
On Monday, April 6th, Alpine Insulation was here to start insulating our house. Super nice guys. With just a few hours into it they seemed to have accomplished so much. Little did I know that it would take the rest of the week to… Continue Reading “Insulation!”
March Updates… even through a pandemic
In the beginning of March 2020 the Covid-19 took over our lives. The ‘Stay At Home’ act was set in place here in Wisconsin meaning those that were not running an essential business were to close their doors. Those employees were laid off and… Continue Reading “March Updates… even through a pandemic”
Progress at the homestead..
Things have been coming along quite nice…weather permitting. With multiple snow falls, we had to contact a company that would specifically do a gravel driveway as most plowing companies don’t want to work on gravel as it dings up and dulls their plow blades.… Continue Reading “Progress at the homestead..”
It’s Electrifying!

October 21 – 25
This week the carpenters were working what seemed to be 24/7. Windows were in, archways put up, roof line completed AND the septic was put in. We visited the house twice over the weekend. The first time to see the progress and the second… Continue Reading “October 21 – 25”

Things are moving along and each time we go to visit, there is a large chunk of work done. These carpenters are working their butts off! Not much to say except for when we visited on October 20th. Check it out. October 14th October… Continue Reading “October 14 – 20th”
