We got some mid-week sprinkles which allowed my son and husband to tackle the large brush piles.
Things are really heating up on the house. This was a dramatic week of progress because our trusses were delivered. And now that they are up, the house is starting to take shape.
It took the huge truck a while to figure out how to get to the house- our roads are very narrow and have ditches on both sides. He backed all the way down the road to get out.
The scissor trusses were designed to give us a vaulted ceiling in the dining room, office and master bedroom. I’m really happy with how the angles turned out.
And on another semi-related note: When we acquired the house, it was still full of “stuff”. I wanted to keep the dining room set and a china hutch. They were dated, but solid and have great lines. My friend (and Montana neighbor), Joanie, who is an expert chalk-painter, is helping me re-finish these pieces. We just finished the chairs. Chalk-painted in “Old White”, distressed, waxed in clear and then a dark wax accent finish. With the new material I chose for the seats, I’m so excited to see them coming together!
