Thanksgiving in Carlisle, 2016

Thanksgiving here in Carlisle was fun and relaxed. My parent’s and I enjoyed a wonderful turkey, succotash, potatoes and cranberry sauce dinner that my Mother prepared in splendid fashion – verrrry good!

Today (Friday after) is a bit cold and rainy – but we met the Maryland Collins’ and went over to look at my […]

Celebratory Dinner at the Colonial Inn in Concord

Now that the Town has issued my Occupancy Permit, it was time last night (Saturday) for a celebratory dinner. My Mom, Dad and I went over last night to the Colonial Inn and had drinks and dinner in the tap room (one of the older parts of the Inn).

Picture heavy post after missing a week of posts

I was wrapped up last weekend in doing work trying to continue momentum for my occupancy permit and I never got around to posting anything.

All permits are complete, except for the occupancy permit. The Carlisle Fire Chief has requested that the we fill in some gaps in the documentation around the common drive way […]

Prepping for fall and house update

Fall is definitely coming. While not every day, we are getting more and more frost in the morning. But the lawn is still growing due to the recent round of rain, most notably the very, very mild brush we had with Hurricane Matthew (basically about 30 hours of steady rain and almost no wind).

My […]

Ah junk mail, how I love thee, let me count the ways…

Grin –

Mailbox and street number out on Bedford Road is complete. Paul found a stone engraver who was able to add my house number to the existing granite post at the end of the common driveway (My parent’s and I struck out with two different sources). I bought at Vanderhoof’s Hardware in Concord an […]

Home machine works – computer nook work surface

My computer work area is off the main hallway to the back of the house and I am planning on it having a wall to wall birch plywood surface. To make it sufficiently stiff, I am going to reinforce it with an aluminum spine. Echoing the kitchen island, I hand milled this weekend a T-bar […]

337 Bedford Road – House number is up!

Thanks to Moda Industria the house number is up! You may have seen my prior post about […]

Big August ’16 photo update on the house progress – Post 3 – Interior

Not a ton to show here compared to the site work but I thought it was differentiated enough to show in a separate post

enjoy

/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

stuff still going on. A great view huh?

Kitchen island over head layout can be seen here – each of those cut out holes will be a LED light. They are stainless steel plates but hard to see due to the protective plastic film over them at the moment

Kitchen from the island

The second of two in floor power outlets for the middle of the living room that I requested. It is prepped and waiting for installation

Completed stainless back splash looks great!

Big August ’16 photo update on the house progress – Post 2 – comparisons!

I realized I have so much stuff to post, that it was awkward to try and put everything into a single post. I am going to break it into three posts. This one is comparisons on progress and the next will have some interior shots

Below is what the property looked like when I was […]
