The Sheetrocking has Begun

The sheetrocking is nearly done and it makes a huge difference.  We finally got a temporary heater installed on a waggon in the shop with its duct running through the hall and into the stairwell.  It uses the propane from our 500 gallon emergency heat tank that can heat the house if power is out and we are on battery and solar power.  Propane is also used for our cooking.

Two walls of the shop are plywood so I can hang stuff anywhere, and we looked at 3/16 wire and Ipe handrail for the railings around the deck, master bedroom balcony and roofwalk.

Gray Owl now on Google Maps

Here is the link to the picture of Gray Owl in google maps.  It was taken after the concrete walls were cast and the power was put in, but before the floor was poured.  You can tell by the shadow of the wall where you can see the doors and windows in the west basement wall.
