I've been a bit delinquent at updating the blog. Progress is being made but is not that visible. The excavator is finally complete backfilling the foundation. We had to bring in 7 trucks of fill (after hauling out over 30 since we had no place to store). The timber framer is about 50% complete preparing the timber frame. He is hoping to raise it around October 15th. We did get the power lines, well power, comcast, quest, and the propane lines buried as well. Propane tank will be delivered on Wednesday. The material for the radiant heating system will begin showing up so we can retrofit the existing house. Overall have had great weather. Did get about 2" of snow one day but was gone the next. We are also trying to contract to get the roof and remaining walls framed so that we are closed in before any big snows.

Timber framer starts on Tuesday (I hope). Here are a few pictures showing some details of the garage level framing including cantelevered deck over garage; utility room area; steel beam, post, and joist hangers in garage; stairwell framing;
