We got our beams last weekend!
We were actually going to break one of the windows that we're pulling out to get the long beams inside. Then we remembered how cold it is in our house. Granted, the windows already have bb holes in them that aren't helping the insulation value of the glass, but they're better than nothing. Sort of, at least. So, we decided to take it in through the kitchen window. Worked like a charm! So now our beams are sitting in their new home, waiting to be installed.
We also got our lawn tilled. We ran some calculation, and figure that we tilled, sifted, shoveled, and raked around 10 tons of dirt. We both loathe shoveling. Only about a 30' by 30' patch got tilled. We're going to leave the rest for next year, since the rest of it is rock- and garbage-hell. It's supposed to be nice outside this weekend, so we'll probably till in compost and maybe even plant seed. That would be VERY nice to have done. ^_^ We also borrowed the trusty jackhammer to attack the humongous rock. We're going to see if we can break it into pieces. We'll see how that goes- I'm not optimistic.
Once the yard is done, it's time to work on the inside. I'm looking forward to it. I hope we can get drywall up by Thanksgiving. I'm not holding my breath, although our Thanksgiving guests might have to. Heh heh.
