Now we are watching the stained wood drying… We didn’t think much about the process until we saw the racks that are used to dry the wood. It is surprising to learn how much wood is used to create the woodwork in a house. Click on the picture below to see more photos.
We are at the stage where the painters are applying the primer coats and/or staining boards used for the upstairs guest rooms, boards used for windows and door trim, and also the interior doors for bedrooms, closets, workroom and bathrooms. This involves an awful lot of effort with not much being seen (unless you look closely). We are pleased with their efforts.
Paint does wonders, but it is a bit difficult to photograph with any definition. You have to be there to see how good it looks. Greg Young and Jay Segal are doing the painting at our house. They work for Greg’s father, J.A. Young. I had a nice picture of their truck with all sorts of info on it, but I lost the picture.

Doors - we have doors. Life is good!
We now have working electricity in the house - not much, but it is a start. I am anxious for the day when all of the circuits are in place.
We think these are stair treads?
The lumber near the front door may be our front steps.
If things keep moving along, we will be living in Fremont before summer is out.
For some reason, I thought the garage door would come fully assembled. I learned that garage doors come in many pieces. Then a skilled craftsman from the Raynor Door Authority, namely Ryan LeClere, puts it all together. Click on the picture below to see how it is done.
The gas tank was delivered from Palmer gas today, inspected by Fremont Building Inspector Thom Roy, and was then buried by Excavation Specialist, Adam Mazur.

Today we met Henry Prive (603-845-7172) and Tammy Adler (603-540-9600) from Re-Modeling America - New Hampshire’s Home Improvement Team. They tape over joints and fill in the nail holes with plaster. They are quick and efficient. Having used a bit of plaster in the past, I asked Tammy how long it took for a person to become so proficiently graceful. Tammy said it takes years. We enjoy watching the many very talented people who are working on our house.
