a couple of updates on the progress. the septic system is in and approved, the framing inspection is done and approved. i have started the wiring and hopefully i can get to the point of rough in inspection before too long. after that i will be able to insulate, using roxul in all the walls and blown in for the attics. i'm planning on doing vinyl siding on nice days and working inside on rainy days. i will have no shortage of power outside as i've installed 9 outdoor outlets on a ground fault breaker. if i get a little worn out i give myself a bit of a treat and spark up the racecar - it can be heard a fair distance away and sometimes draws a bit of an audience.
