Pretty close to calling it done. 🤑 A few things on tap to finish: - rugs for the lounge and mats for muddy paws - I decided to add a toaster oven that will go on the wall in the grain mill closet. As the space on that wall will be tight, instead of a cabinet for the mill I’m just going to...

Hard to believe it took from August till this last weekend to get a batch going 🤬…. But lots to do to finish the house remodel, drywall the woodshop - then paint and set it up again. Add to that that the insulation contractor came back with a great price so we are able to insulate the...

Lots of priority juggling going on…. We’re back into our bedroom - at least partially - smart switches to install (only way for me to turn off the lights after my wonderful spouse 🤪), some grout to scrub off the floors, EVERYTHING to pull out of storage, etc…. Weather just changed, so I have...

It’s been a busy week, gas lines repaired, pavers nearly complete, hot tub pad poured yesterday, fence posts (those in the paver path) in and…. The GC is done in the main house and gone. 1 week shy of a full year, 3 months over schedule and more than double their estimate. Going forward we’ll...

Busy day, but a major issue… On the plus side, brew utility cabinet is set up and subwoofer is placed. Installed cabinet pulls (less 3 that are on order) and ensured ready for the plumber tomorrow. Currently resetting the lounge cabinets and test running the dishwasher to confirm no leaks -...

Forgot how nice stainless steel looks…. 🙃. I have enough of the system together to figure out most of the missing clamps, valves, etc. As soon as I have the cabinets ready for the countertops I’ll go figure out the wiring for the controller and get those ordered. They are making great...

Hard to believe it’s been nearly a month since my last post…. Our contractor has been moving SLOW, so slow that I’ve taken over doing the finishing touches. I’ve been filling holes in trim, painting, caulking, installing the dishwasher, setting up the TV and stereo - only to have the receiver...

It feels like there has not been a lot of visible progress, but they are nearly done. - hoping to see the plumber next week to install the toilet and hook up the stainless sink along with a water supply for the counter flow chiller - doors are nearly all painted and trim is going in - just...

A mad inventor friend of mine brought this to the local brew fest today, was a huge hit for hours. I need one for when my brew hall is complete!

Full house today…. Carpenters, plumbers, electricians, and wall paper hangers. Reclaimed wood wall finished, drunk monkeys adorn one wall of the bathroom, water supply being run to dishwasher and coffee maker (which is finally available), final lights being installed. There is a fair chance...

This week is promising, the live edge shelf for the amplifiers is installed, the wood wall is expected to be done tomorrow, electricians are due back tomorrow and will be installing the speakers in the eves along with finishing a handful of small items, and the wall paper hanger is coming out...

It's been quite a day for a number of reasons (most bad) - like boxes of tile being dropped in shipping so that we received nothing but broken tile. But the great news is that they've started to install the reclaimed wood panels! There is a live edge shelf for the receiver and amp that will go...

A couple of key accomplishments... First, if there was a toilet installed and water was on I could flush it! The lift station grinder pump and controller are installed which completes the sewer portion of the build. Second, the roll up window is finally in place. Happy days - and completed...

It feels like it’s only about 20 hours of contractor work before I can start setting up my equipment…. Arrrgggggg it’s toooooo SLOW…. and I’m sure I’ve underestimated 😭 The plumber was out today, tankless water heater now moved from house to brewery. We’ve discussed how to manage supply lines...

It's happening fast, so here's a couple of pictures. :cool: Roll up window being prepped for installation; dishwasher, drawers, kegerator, and beverage refrigerator loosely placed. Electricians are working to finish installing switches and outlets. Happy days...
