Finally: Some Progress

It's been a long time since any work was done on the Wyoming House. Last fall the house movers lowered the home but would not remove their 60' beams for fear of rolling their equipment on the steep grade since the ground was covered in a bit of snow and muddy. Unfortunately, if we framed up the additions, the house movers would not have enough room to get the beams at the right angle to pull them out on the slope. So, much to our dismay we had to just cover the additions to keep the snow and critters out and leave it until spring.

This spring was incredibly wet [lots of rain for weeks] which delayed things even more. I stopped by in June and there was still about 12" of snow at the gate. and all the rain made it very muddy and not great conditions for heavy equipment. Finally we have had a dry spell and I was able to get the house movers back this Saturday to retreive their large beams. They scarred a couple of trees getting them out, but with so many there to work around I'm just pleased they didn't have to cut any down to get them out of the way.

Now, if we can get the framing done, plumbing and electrical hooked back up and a fireplace installed we'll at least be able to keep the place heated and work on it through the fall as it starts to get cold.
