Yes it has finally happened!!! I am writing this post from Rancho Liberte - moved in yesterday and spent my first night here last night. It is so peaceful here. I have so much to post about - particularly the creative temporary window coverings the were just hung...check back for more on that later (including pictures). I am going to pour myself a glass of wine and go sit on the front deck and watch the sunset this evening.

My dear friend, Andrea came down from Loveland to spend this first weekend and help me get unpacked. She came bearing a lasagna which we enjoyed after an afternoon of lining shelves and unpacking kitchen boxes - she loves the range and oven. We each had our own floor last night - she had the basement and I had the main floor. For those of you who may be saying "great the guests get the dark and dingy basement I won't be visiting there anytime soon", the basement is very bright and cheery with many windows

More later...

Finishing

Well the finishing work has begun - cabinets, paint, floor, etc...Builder is saying that we are on target for a December 7th certificate of occupancy!

Drywalled, Taped and Mudded

Looking Fit and Trimmed

The exterior trim work is almost complete! The accent color will be added soon - weather permitting. It is expected to snow this week!!!

Back on Track

After a few weeks of delays due to heavy rains causing some basement flooding...we are back on track. The good news is that no significant damage occured because only the framining had been completed. This week there has been a great bit of progress - drywalling and exterior painting being the most significant progress. The new adjusted timeline calls for a Certificate of Occupancy (that's a CO to those in the biz) by Thanksgiving.

Almost ready for Framing Inspection

Moving Right Along...

Progress is steady on the construction of Rancho Liberte. I was out of town for a couple of weeks and when I went out the property yesterday the roofers were roofing and plumber was plumbing! Siding is supposed to be added today.


I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of natural light we will have in the basement!
