Just went through this start to today July 12, 2018.
Congrats on the project coming together!
My front door is going to be 4' wide, and I will have a scissor lift on site, until the entire house is 100%. Hell, I may have to buy one, and then sell it when I'm done. Learned my lesson years ago, on steel structures, ladders I'm not scared of, but damn they are slow! And working alone, they are less than safe.

Dayum. That is painful just to look at. Glad it didn't break anything. I had a similar accident a while back. Fell face down ( alcohol was consumed but didn't cause the fall) could have easily killed me. Be careful DnB... I had to check on your progress. Kitchen looks stellar.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it. Don't text and drive.

been following since you started, just not every day or every week. Very interesting and fun to watch progress. I'm sure others are too. Just don't get injured again. Makes me thinks: Are you going to finish? Can't wait to see it done. Stay safe.

They started hanging rock on Monday and finished yesterday.
I'm thinking I'll be finished with the house mid may. Not sure how long it will take to close with the bank.
I'll be starting a go fund me account to fill the 500 gallon propane tank bi-monthly
It will be around $900-$1000. They can’t completely fill it, only to about 400 gallons to allow for expansion Ordered 300 gallons this week. 2.10 a gallon.

ouch - hope you got an under $2 a gal source. Maybe too late, but I'd put in a heatpump condenser instead of a straight-cool (same size); only a few bucks more and you could heat dual-fuel for about half the cost of straight propane. Plus, the heatpump never 'runs out'. New heatpumps are ++ efficient down to 20 degrees (way cheaper than propane). Below 20 propane kicks in. Makes 1 tank last 2+ years! Only suggesting this because I did exactly this on a home we recently moved into. Ouch back at ya.
I believe propane is the way to go. I've got a friend that just built a home and his propane bills monthly through Trenton propane his home is 4200 sqft. Last month his electric bill was just north of 30 bucks his propane Bill was just south of 60 bucks. Unless you set that thermostat at 60 during the winter, you’re going to be in for a shock. We went propane heater and propane tankless water heater in our new house, 3300sq ft with spray foam insulation. We moved in just before December, had tank filled to 200 gallons, and had to refill it Janurary 1 with another 200 gallons. Just refilled it yesterday with 100 gallons. That’s over $1000 for 4 months. My dad is on chemo right now and it makes him very sensitive to the cold, might be one reason we are using so much propane, I keep it at 68-70 and he keeps it around 74. Also, the water heater has a recirculator feature to provide faster hot water, this uses constant propane, and it can be turned off but will take a few more seconds to get hot water. I have always has gas heat, always been natural ga though. My in-laws have electric heat and they averaged $250 a month over the past 4 months and were on brand new units in a 2400 sq ft home. Update on my utility bills.many were concerned about. I filled up my propane tank in August or September can't recall for sure spent around 550 when I did. It appears it will last a full year. My electric bill is set up through a tiered set up. Use under x kwh it's this amount, steps up. Our electric bill was 158 for 4 months then 42 for 8 months. Sure hope I don't lose the farm.

How many pounds in a gallon? I’m filling hundred pound tanks for 55 bucks. A 20 pound tank holds about 4.5 gallons. But you can only fill any propane tank to about 80% capacity. Tanks without a liguid level indicator are filled not to exceed 80% of designated weight.

If the 2nd amendment was written just to include guns for hunting, why is there not an amendment to protect fishing poles?
