Thanks for posting!

Every time I feel like I am hemorrhaging money on our remodel, I can count on your posts to bring me back.

joeychitwood · 26 July 2018, 11:44 AM

Glad I can help, Jason. The retaining wall and associated landscaping added an unexpected $20K to the build. When all is said and done, I'll be between 20 and 25% over my original budget due to unforeseen expenditures and "might-as-wells."

joeychitwood · 27 July 2018, 12:09 PM

The carpenters have almost finished the front entryway. I love the detail and the big pillars. One beam still needs facing, but they ran out of material this afternoon. The peak is almost 20 feet high. Kind of has a ski lodge appearance.

After seven days of construction, the boulder retaining wall is almost completed. Almost 300,000 pounds of boulders. The builder places them like puzzle pieces.

Boothroyd · 5 August 2018, 12:41 PM

Joey, it looks great! Good luck with the drive to completion.

Laszlo · 5 August 2018, 03:45 PM

That home is absolutely outstanding. Such a wonderful example of perfection. Well done indeed.

It must have quite the room.

Wow your house is stunning :-)

swatty · 5 August 2018, 07:03 PM

Looking good Joey

Sperry · 6 August 2018, 08:10 AM

You've got fantastic craftspeople on your job!

Prestige_Swiss · 6 August 2018, 08:34 AM

Wow I haven't been on this thread in a while. Beautiful home!!!!

GB-man · 6 August 2018, 09:59 AM

What a beautiful result joey. Congratulations to you and the wife it looks like a ski resort.

joeychitwood · 21 September 2018, 04:54 AM

Here are a few recent photos. The landscaping is done, and the No-Mow grass is starting to grow. All that remains now are the gable accent structures and the asphalt driveway. I've been trimming dead branches from the Norway pines and cutting and burning the downed trees from the driveway excavation. I love fall.

Here is the south side of the house. All of the mechanical inputs and vents are on this side.

The view from the back of the house. We are about 35 feet above the river and pond.

I finally cleared the garage of construction equipment enough to get both vehicles in the garage. Dan is coming to get everything out tomorrow.

This morning's fire before the rain began. This is a clearing in the second lot I bought to insure that I never have nearby neighbors.

Deer come into the yard daily, usually at dusk. There is a power line on the far south edge of the property and these two spend hours every day sitting on the poles.

And finally, here is my new granddaughter, Lotta Jae, born ten days ago.

House looks great! Congrats on the beautiful new granddaughter too!

Watch This · 21 September 2018, 07:29 AM

Congrats.

Sperry · 21 September 2018, 11:09 PM

That's the most well-thought out project I've ever seen! Thanks for posting all of the photos. What a perfect garage workbench nook!

Super congrats especially you were able to acquire adjacent property. When my sister built her first house, there were still vacant lots for a few years. The luxury of undisturbed view ... I like neighbors close by, but not too close by. :-)

RichM · 22 September 2018, 12:40 AM

You are a very lucky man Joey. Beautiful house and child.

bayerische · 22 September 2018, 02:51 AM

Looking good!

Congrats on your Granddaughter too! We had our first child this summer, and what a blessing children are.

GB-man · 22 September 2018, 02:54 AM

Fantastic result! An envious abode.

MT_Timepieces · 22 September 2018, 04:32 AM

Congrats enjoy!

Children and now grandchildren have been the best part of my life. Nothing comes close.

My father is mesmerised by our "Bella".

He constantly keeps telling me, something re-wires in an "old-mans" brain when he gets grandchildren!

Incredible.

Blessed.

Amazing project

joeychitwood · 24 September 2018, 10:53 AM

Deer come through the yard every evening at dusk. Mrs. Chitwood is an animal lover, and she has set out a feeder full of corn. This is the doe and one of two fawns feeding tonight. The other fawn has a bit of ADD and doesn't stay in any one spot very long. After eating, they head down to the river in the background for a drink.

TheVTCGuy · 24 September 2018, 11:03 AM

I’m on my way Joey, get my room ready

It's ready. And come deer hunting season, you won't even have to get out of bed to get your deer.
