Well, after a year of watching everyone else threads, and working on my own build(s), I've decided, and found time to post some progress on our home. To start, I am an IT Manager working for a non-profit healthcare organizaion, my wife is a stay at home mom, who is the 'learning coach' for my daughters 'home school' program.
We purchased the 20' wide universal plans, and of course modified to our liking. Instead of posting individual pictures of our progress, since we are so far at this point, I'd like to just let you guys browse my albums, which are in order from start to current. We first started of course, with purchasing the land. We initially were trying to buy our 'dream' house, but the banks have become ridiculous and annoying to work with. Despite having what they required for the down payment, closing costs, etc., our close date got pushed back 7 different times, at 2-3 weeks each time. The last time the bank called to push back the closing date, it was over a matter of $5 a month. They wanted me to get our home owners insurance 'quote' down by $60 a year. At that point, I was beyond over it, and decided we were going a new route.
We negotiated a good price on 2.5 acres, near where we wanted to be (close to my parents, who is caring for my elderly grandmother...we are helping them with that task, so being close was important). We started our journey in November 2015, once the corn was cleared off of our land by the previous tennant by deciding to build a pole barn to work out of - something we do not regret doing first! This album is of that task, start to (almost) finish. I have some minor things to work on, but plan to do that this fall, once the house is weather sealed in for winter. The link takes you to my google photo albums, feel free to reply here on any of the photos if you have questions. https://goo.gl/photos/m2KVuL5nELs29awd6 (https://goo.gl/photos/m2KVuL5nELs29awd6)

We are excited to share our progress, as so many of you have helped me get where I am today, because you shared your progress. I will try and post as often as I can during the rest of our journey. Up to this point, its been work from dawn till dusk, while still working a full time job. I had saved up a ton of PTO, and took approx 4 weeks off this summer to get this far this quick, all while trying to beat the weather....now that we are at a good place (and hopefully this weekend will see us sealed in), I am hopeful to have additional free time to keep updates rolling.
Enjoy!
EDIT: (I tried attaching individual photo links - but they don't seem to work through Google Photos, and I don't want to take too much time uploading all these photos to different locations to show them here...anyone know a work around to get photos to work through google photos????) -----I figured this out! If anyone needs help with this, let me know...I can now post with individual pics - added some to this post for previews of my album.
Now that I am able to post individual pictures, thought I'd add my google sketchup design and my floorplan:

This weekend was spent finishing one gable end and getting the other started. We found a deal on t1-11 sheets, and we got an idea of cutting them into 9" strips and overlapping them to give a 'shaker' look...Going to also do this on the other end next weekend:

Hoping to this week get the last of the sheeting and wrap up on the short sides, and maybe the rest of the windows installed as well, and possible the 3 exterior doors (had to make my own frames for the doors we found, so nearly complete with that as well!)
I'm not seeing any images.
I guess i'm still having troubles with using google photos :( I am now seeing two work on a different computer, but not the middle one. I will start using photobucket or something else I suppose.
I'm a fan of imgur.

That's a great idea. I never would have known they were t1-11 unless you told us...

Then my plan paid off :)
Stopped by after work to check on property, and took these pics as I think they are pretty neat.
Stained Glass window from inside - its really a shame you won't be able to see this once the house is done, since its in the 'attic' space: (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/msn5KDwt1spA1uQFXeavZ8F5mbx-el0T19xM8s1xD4IAQ7NKTQj2gaYBZrBHrHy_Cx7Oueoi7YsHWIS7xZvk4L10BROOKslSZnZ8rnGoRBRjv0PjrhL8oFcMQeVnhd1cNgtwK1IIpKmHNIUOoSx3llBWvpldJv9Iukm6B7Cie0jkDSfMU6qQDfBIgwK1B9JW_eQVLUG_zKXAG-qzAeNqlQRHVnYUf8CkgclvZ24mh6w6xvI4fh7FLZtzBKiqSVxDNbViCi10Wx0CoxYv75khyS3Z2HgppJCSVGEeDxge5SnlL1H7BvMp0l0_8ABK5VroQp4CwdsJPQMmxmaAp_VUO7sTVlE2_lnW1WqmfqdVA8FbvYgWHG0K3B6mvrCrQDwkdVV_7Byqj7NnD2CxihqO-rVtPxuDTrMA1Mn59ospznPlJgNuDpdSK5glp4tDmFTQDbMxh-XKkxzYU12baLJbUVhTLjPqMmZqDHmOmBC9Vu5HXtrIFAUv-iuv_kZhId0x7XVtw2sdzBAtBGZQhtGimfjfThbX7InFeGrRQXfSdv0Lz-FzPxY7t6Zx9uejG51MDYaviSAaFi-yv9P2vguGqWaUDNuPv3YI9YeSwS1FvYVrCAg6=w626-h834-no)

We've been real busy lately, but not on the house :( Anyhow, we went over last night and got one of our 3 exterior doors in (taking so long because I've had to custom build the door frames for the doors that we have). It went in well, and to our surprise, it closes, opens, locks, and feels so good during any function! I still have some work to do on that door, but I'm satisfied with the results.

Thanks! I'm so glad it turned out as good as it did! I can't wait to get the side facing the road done - its going to be too windy saturday to rent that lift to do it, so we are gonna wait till next saturday..sposed to be almost 20 degrees warmer then too. Gonna try and rent a ditcher machine instead and get some power to the house...runnig an extension cable from the pole is getting old.
I did get exterior door #2 in last night...one more to go!

We got these doors at one of the Habitat for Humanities for next to nothing...just had to make the frames for them. Never had done that part before either.
Happy building!
Finally got around to doing the other gable end!

Also, soffit and facia are complete on front end...just a little more of that to go and that part will be all buttoned up.
It rained like mad yesterday, which allowed me to be inside the house during that time and inspect for leaks.

I believe that the wind was blowing so hard that it was pushing the water back up the metal underneath the flashing, which I thought they had sealed...Upon investigation, they indeed did not seal.

Anyways, we are still working on stripping the old windows we'd gotten so that they can be painted and installed in the next week or so. And I really want to get my electric line buried and to the house so we can start running electricity through out, but my car has decided it wants some attention and may have blown a head gasket. If thats the case, I may have to put somethings off till spring :*(
Man I wish I could see all your pics.
You can view my photo gallery here https://goo.gl/photos/ooG4DDUVcMHPdwYo6 (https://goo.gl/photos/ooG4DDUVcMHPdwYo6)
Please let me know if you can't for any reason, or if you'd like something specific to see and I will gladly put it up for you.
My homeowner is stripping the windows and doors currently, if you have tips or a good stripper to recommend I'm all ears. We got some spring balances salvaged from a local job, I'm working them into new jambs and just reusing the old sashes after stripping, epoxy repairs and refinishing. I'm still looking for reasonably priced hardware.
On the head gasket, I recently blew one on her Honda and the estimate was higher than the car value IMO. I burned up You tube and then tackled it myself. Took awhile but about 1/3 the cost and it seems to be fine now. I was very leery of tackling that modern little sideways cramped engine bay but its still just an engine under all the fluff.
No tips from me on that - we bought what is supposed to be extra strong paint stripper from home depot and we've already done 2 coats with it, will need a 3rd for sure, maybe a 4th as well. I thought about using my sand blaster and soda, but it would have cost much more to do, and might risk damage/glass etching or something...at which point, I should have just bought new windows ::) The windows I got were from a local Habitat store, and I paid $40 for all of them, so they are worth a little work I think.
As for my car...My mechanic is back finally from vacation (this guy is amazing, I don't trust anyone else working on my stuff anymore, so if hes on vacation for a week, its worth the wait) I stopped by and dropped my key off this morning (left the car there a week ago when it started having its issue) and he said he doens't think its the head gasket as he's had this issue with these cars before...seems to be a $20 part leaking on antifreeze near the exhaust manifold, which is why I'm low on antifreeze, and why I smell antifreeze burning off. Still doesn't explain the rough idle (feels like 1 spark plug is fowling out (fouling?!)) Oh well... I should find out by end of day and hoping for good news there, as I want to get my electric line in and buried (that will cost what a head gasket repair will cost....)
Heading over tonight after work to do some more.
I did get the trim done around one of the exterior doors (trying hard to get them sealed in between yucky weather) I have some more work to do with some putty and caulk and paint, but the idea is there at least. ;)

Stairs....oh where or where shall I put my stairs. I know...something that should have been planned out better initially. We were originally going to do spiral stairs, and once we got to the point where it was time for them, the cost and the look made us decide against it. So, I cut my stair stringers this weekend, and thought I wanted them here, which means I need to cut into the loft. But now...I really don't like that idea at all because what will keep the floor joists that I have to cut stable. I mean, I was going to build a wall against the stairs for them to sit on, but nothing will tie them to the other wall, and I'm afraid that could cause some issues somehwere alont the line. I'm thinking of moving them to the other wall, and out further so I don't have to cut into the loft/joists at all. I also thought about sideways along the loft edge, but I will lose the 'openess' of the first floor. I will move it around and see what different spots will look like. I really wish I'd decided against spiral much sooner than this!

Ok, moved my stairs and am happy with results. Don't have to cut into the loft now, and i can have a bigger kitchen area again! Also found some 2x6's that were cutoffs from roof rafters to use as temp stair treads (I need to trim them up now, but it will work until we finish the stairs off later!)

Have you considered having alternate tread stairs? It's a fair compromise of taking up less space while still being like stairs rather than a ladder.
John has a sketch of them here (http://countryplans.com/smf/index.php?topic=1777.0).
We did actually, and although it would have saved us space and looks nice and clean, I wanted to put my electric panel box and my data connections under the stairwell...and maybe have it also server as a coat closet since its right near the front door. I also wanted to make sure the stairs are easy for people with handicaps...the alternate tread steps might prove difficult for my mother in law who has polio, but the ones I put in she can handle.
Got my temp stair treads trimmed so they look nicer, hung the electrical panel, and installed a fireplace...it is the fireplace for the barn, thought I'd put it in the house as that is where the work is happening this winter - and when I find a deal on a nice one for the house, it will get switched out. It definitely put out some
heat!

This weekend I plan to finish my soffit and fascia on the last side, start working on electrical and insulation, and hope to have kitchen cabinets installed through the rest of the month. Will add progress pics as I'm able.
More pics are available in my google photo album https://goo.gl/photos/ooG4DDUVcMHPdwYo6 (https://goo.gl/photos/ooG4DDUVcMHPdwYo6) for your viewing pleasures. Back to work now :(
looks a lot like our place
David, do you have any photos of yours, would love to check yours out?
Sorry for not posting updates lately, but with all these nice december days in the 40s and 50, I've been working as much as I can on the house.
Here is what I got done or started in December
1. Insulation (just need to finish the insulation in the floor at this point - will do in the spring when I get my plumbing done)
2. Attic drop down stairs
3. Attic 'cat walk'. I didn't want to buy a bunch of OSB or plywood for the attic, so I used what I had lying around, a bunch of 2 foot wide by 8 foot long OSB floor sheathing left over from building the house. Have enough extra I might be able to make half the catwalk 6' wide later on - but I wanted to work on more important projects for the time being. The OSB is already up in the attic to complete this (probly after we move in).
4. Kitchen drywal and cabinets installed!!! This was one of those parts that really starts making it look like what its going to be, so, very exciting for us to see this part happen.
5. We've been wondering what to do with our kitchen sink area, since its an inside wall. So, we put in a piece of stained glass window that my parents gave us, and it looks gorgeous there. It is centered with our back door (mudroom), and that door being mostly glass, theres a nice glow on this window during the day.
6. Electrical outlets on kitchen (cabinet) wall and the light over the sink have been installed (its an antique industrial light, have 2 more that are just a bit larger that match it for over the island), as well as some flush mount LED lighting in the walk way areas around the kitchen have been installed.
Lots done, lots to do! Even with the insulation in, without the floor being insulated, it stays chilly in the house unless you are by the fireplace, or upstairs where all the heat gathers. So, I don't expect to get a lot more done with these teen temps coming, and I'm sure winter will get a little more harsher this month than it has been.
I don't have any ground wire nuts (the green ones with the hole in the end) so I will pick those up today and finish the outlets and power them up
As always, heres the link to my entire build album on my google photos: https://goo.gl/photos/ooG4DDUVcMHPdwYo6
And here are just the photos from what I've done recently...Enjoy!

Love the vintage lights, I'm using a pair of them to light up my horseshoe pit.
hi you can see my pics look for dave and kim 20x40 on the home page of countryplans.com
Just wondering what wall treatment you were planning to use in the 2nd story. Might I give you a suggestion if you are using drywall. Do not get the flexible drywall tape which has the metal strips on the back. They make one that has fiberglass/plastic backing that is hinged and about 2" wider. Use it. If you glance at my thread you will see why. You need something else other than standard tape to keep a straight line where the knee wall meet the sloped ceiling and again where that wall meets flat ceiling.

David, thats funny! Your house is what got us interested in these plans, and we actually started by mimicking your floorplan...although it drastically changed over time, but we used your photos for a lot of our reference!

RedoverFarm, that is what we were thinking of doing if we do drywall up the ceilings. I like the metal back tape for wall corners, but prefer the fiberglass mesh stuff for uncertain lines such as that. I'm thinking of drywalling the knee wall, and the ceiling we want to do pallet wood, or something similar. We've been breaking down pallets for the last 2 years or so in hopes of getting enough wood to do all of our ceilings this way, and maybe some of the walls...want to do pine, but not sure I can afford it:

I greatly appreciate the advice though!
As a professional home remodeler, I HIGHLY recommend this tape for your corner work. Perfect corners every time, and often only requires two coats of compound and it's finished. You'll love it. Home Depot and others sell it. Pricey, but worth every penny.

I finished wiring the other kitchen circuit last night (7 outlets and the island lights). I love how these lights, well...light:

The bulbs are set in the light deep enough so that when you are standing by the light, you don't see the bulb at all, and the light doesn't 'blind' you, which is what I was expecting. Of course, if you duck down and look up, you get the blinding from the bulb that I figured you'd get without ducking....so worked out perfect!

I walked to the back door where the mudroom is going to be, and I wasn't expecting to see this, as the light in that area is usually on when I'm there at night, and I must have unplugged the extension cord for it without realizing...quite a pleasant surprise :)

Just a quick update, not a whole lot of progress lately. Finished adding the kitchen lights, and the pantry light, as well as some 'above cabinet' LED lighting.

Good to see that other folks are making progress. Maybe it's a glitch at my end but I'm not seeing the last bunch of photos.
I'm also getting error messages (minus sign) on image spaces.
See if this helps - http://countryplans.com/smf/index.php?topic=11663.0

Sorry for the issues. It seems to not work right away for some people with my Google Photo Album for some reason. I really dont' want to bounce back and forth between something else (photobucket) and my Google album as my phone auto uploads everything as tagged for the album. You can check my album directly for all my photos if you like, that seems to work fine. I think the issue is that DNS with my album links are 'new' when I post them, and need time to 'populate' out to the world.

Weather is finally nice once again!
short update: No matter what I did, I couldn't squeeze the upstairs bathroom in so that it made sense or didn't take up an odd looking amount of space. I ended up removing my pull down attic stairs so I can relocate them, and decided on this:

Putting the bathroom on a sidewall meant having to have the bathroom more towards center than the wall due to the slope. We tried every which way we could come up with, but you either were going to hit your head on the ceiling, or waste space somewhere. This is what we decided on in the end, after finding 3 layouts that could work. This gives us a small 'wet bar' on the loft as well, something we thought would be handy as the loft will be our 'living room'. So, I framed the walls up this weekend, and of course my phone was dead when I was done so no pics for now. Hoping to spend this week wiring the loft, and then starting my plumbing, as well as getting the attic stairs put back up somewhere else. Hope to get back into the swing of things and make some good progress now that its decent weather once again.
June 8th is our start date anniversary of breaking ground. I am hoping to have everything internal but flooring and finish work done by that date!
And....for some reason, my links to my last post with pics are invalid(there were some extra characters in the links that was messing them up...) I can't edit that post either it seems, so here is a repost of that post with proper links!
Just a quick update, not a whole lot of progress lately. Finished adding the kitchen lights, and the pantry light, as well as some 'above cabinet' LED lighting.

Progress! I finally have enough set back for well and septic...both will be done within the month!
Finished framing interior walls up and nearly done with electrical work.
Here is my layout for the upstairs, of course mid build, I modified it as I didn't like the bedroom closet at all. We decided on 2 closets on either side of window, with a sitting area in between them under the window:

Decided, while my heavy wire spool was upstairs, to go ahead and put lights in the attic - I don't know what use they will really be since its not a large space, but my thoughts were add em while I'm at it instead of wishing I added them down the road:

Ordering plumbing items today to get my pex piping in, the Metal company has my order on stand-by for my siding, and I have most of the wood sitting in the barn to build one of the 2 decks. More progress to come soon!
So tired of using our little ladder to step into the house, so we decided it was time to get the 'end' deck put on, as that is our primary door. It is an 8'x14' deck, and will be covered.

Yes, those 3 tall posts aren't exactly straight.... They bow. I was able to fill my 16' trailer up with a ton of wood like this for a total of $70! I'm hoping I can ratchet strap those guys a little straighter when I work up top for the roof over the porch.

Nothing happening tonight, but I took tomorrow off to meet the guy thats going to do the well...will finish the deck and maybe the rest of the electric runs in the last two rooms.
I finished the deck part of the deck yesterday and hope to start working on the roof for it sometime soon. Also got an HVAC company out to quote me on that system, and the well guy came out and marked the well and finished submitting documents to the Health Dept. Well should be in pretty soon! Septic is scheduled for May 1st and 2nd.

I don't think I did too bad for my first deck. Hindsight, there are somethings I think I could have done better, that knowledge will be used on the front deck.
Lots of work took place over the last month! I stayed steadily busy and really managed to knock out a lot of items.
1. The well is done
2. All internal water lines are complete
3. 99.9% of the plumbing is done (have to finish hooking up the master tub)
4. Septic got delayed, but should be installed within the next two weeks.
5. Both showers are installed and ready for finishing
6. Kitchen counter is almost done
7. Kitchen cabinets have been polyurethaned
8. outdoor Wood boiler has been hooked up and tested
9. HVAC (duct works, furnace (propane with outdoor woodboiler setup (hybrid?) and A/C) is complete
10. Cleaned up or mess outside and started burning off scrap/trash that has been collecting.
11. Sickled the field down so the land looks nice and clean
All in all, its coming along nicely! Still a lot to do, but not nearly what there was this time last year!
Things left to do are:
1. drywall
2. finish insulation underneath
3. siding
4. tile in bathrooms
5. flooring (really thinking of sanding down the OSB and poly'ing it for now as we are very broke!)
6. move in

By the way, I hate plumbing.
More progress!
1. Septic is in and passed inspection
2. Kitchen cabinets have been polyurethaned
3. Kitchen sink and countertops have been installed
4. Plumbing is now 100% done
5. 50% of downstairs drywall is up
Next projects:
1. widen stairs (so you are less inclined to bump your head on the ceiling when you reach the loft
2. Finish drywall
3. figure out loft railing
4. Insulate underneath (keep putting this one off....)
5. Paint
6. Lay laminate and tile flooring
7. Move in!
8. siding later this year ( I hope...depends on staying employed at this point..)

That looks great! Question on the PEX running into the HVAC: Looks like you're using hot water to heat the place? Assuming you've got some form of radiator/HXC in the cowling? Can you also use it to run cool water during the summer months?
Icanreachit, thank you, and you are correct. I have an outdoor wood boiler

There is a radiator that the pex lines go into in the furnace plenum. There is an aquastat and relay tied to the furnace on one of the hot water lines...if the water line is 130 degrees or higher, the aquastat trips the relay, shutting off the propane to the furnace, and letting the boiler heat the house (works amazingly well from my test earlier in the spring!)(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/1xNocQ32s80_cO9astEO8dU1gsUXOl1hZGX0TNaUQVMxEsMY_eDvWJzjB_v10F4cFOcZLzPhxlussgGfg3hJnVGBd2KdPe_jxo-ZRGiBDi3tXqAcqehwkJYWZ2RDxisT7Sv3o5v8F_PqDEeGX49XxVxtLxwcOuG1HLMDXOgb4Xp4e-r87l2SMBe62UigkTaQtM0LWMKZSozyHTz8mM666L7KE08c7qUyMnP8OHcZ0l7bNSBtSMHcYU_7VCJDn7uI5_Uz9p5PAiKi8AhFVB4g_-zmg1jm1aR6meTXV7_e54ZyRKiy3ZdYnmk50oyqwGs16U4lfuMFY1oQKHG5B2Yh5TZ7LXY4TDUf4bxpPpBx-SlMR_Sa9JmMpmDhKyjaWUBJEMJUhQxmxaCJEGDnjjlsirlW1mh6zhPUHARVwg3_qPl1ZRQRCOs7x7K5RknfXvCAPmGCvWGvzn4zQcGRYl7Xpm0hSl8Y1QlQxVi-56KAh2Io-dhDeZIOmN6Y7vjYOUdnJbOFrDP4PsQ25KWPQESJuZ8f4DImr-ToFzVdZwNhCd-OoEdUafrMcNY2jEiReLAoG8k4yxteQQQSiQDBro5kJ6pvbyR13AZxqECgmGUdt_IIGvbBnxi_p6k8WWSdudy6pXkPij5Wt-wPk37zlXZs12UblHFDUBx9Atu8j2JjfQ=w883-h662-no)
As for cooling, I've read that it might be possible, but I don't think so. I have no way to cool the water in the boiler....however, it is generally cooler than the temperature, but I don't believe it would be enough to provide conditioned air to the house. I can give this a try though, and see how it does, but again, not cooling the water I think would render it ineffective.
i don't know why this reply got created and I'm not seeing where to delete it....sorry!
So its been a little bit since I posted. A lot has happened, of which I had to find a new job. The place I worked was 'selling' out and my position became 'redundant'. I was fortunate to start at a new place with no gap in employment. A better place I might add. However, I don't have the time I used to have to be working after work (was getting off at 3pm, now its 5, with a 40 min commute).
Anyhow, regardless of the job change, that did not slow me down too much. I've done a lot since the last post. Instead of explaining things, I'm just going to post photos, and if anyone has any questions feel free to ask! Enjoy!

We ended up not liking how close your are to the cieling when you get to the top of the steps, so I made a 4th stringer, and widened the steps to 4 foot instead of the 3' that they were. This helps quite a bit when you are at the top.

Not sure how I missed this thread! Everything looks great. I went with a 26x52 two story.
You mentioned that it was crazy hot up in the attic. I would be worried that in the winter moisture would condense on that plastic I can see under the roof deck. If it were mine, I would have not had insulation in the narrow ceiling but carry the sloped insulation all the way to the peak. Then the attic area would be semi-conditioned.
Also, I really like all the stained glass. Looks great.
Austin
Thanks! Have a link to your post?
Hmmm....That might have been what I should have done! I suppose I can put more insulation in the attic if need be. There shouldn't be any heat up there this winter since the ceiling is insulated. Its only hot up there on really hot days. Yesterday it was maybe 70 and the attic was not bad at all (not like the day when it was causing the ceiling vents to drip from the A/C running!) I will keep an eye on it this winter for sure and make sure its not condensating as well.

Here you go. I need to update it but the picture posting stuff is going to take me a while to fix!

Weekend update!
Was really hoping to get more than this done, but wasn't even able to finish this! The slope of this roof is just enough, I couldn't get ontop to put the flashing and ridgecap on. Looking for a way to get that done that is safe!
Anyhow, front porch, almost complete (missing flashing/ridgecap/endcaps/soffit/fascia/siding (same stuff we used on the gable ends)/railing/stain and security light/s)
We used Galvanized steel instead of the charcoal we used on the roof, to add some country charm to the house. Can't wait for the siding to get done! (sometime in November if the weather holds out at this point?...)

Ah yes, picture posting...what a pain that was for me to get started. Found a way to use my google album that made it fairly easy!

Ah yes, I remember yours, I love the wood floors you did - Beautiful build! Its funny, I designed and planned everything about mine - but then when I look at other builds, I keep wanting to go back and redo parts of mine!
We are all like that. You design design design and then build. Right after you finish something, you see something that you wish you could have incorporated.
My wife was never really sure on the kitchen design until I laid it out in blue tape on the floor at full size. She could then walk it and really see how big it would be. Then her input to me was much better. Should could SHOW me where she wanted stuff and then I could put it into the plan.
The one thing I wish I could have figured out is a master bedroom and bath on the first floor. We might add on later to get that.
Yeh, exactly what I did for my wife ;) She kept saying she couldn't picture it so I laid it out for her.

Updates! Getting closer...and closer.... We expect to be moving in within the month.
Saved this cabinet from our North Carolina house when we sold it - has frosted glass and we added some adjustable lights - great for 'night light' and bathroom item storage

We are leaving the kitchen area ceiling open for this winter, just in case I find theres some wiring we need to add or whatever (and i don't think I have enough pine to finish it now and being a bit broke doesn't help that).
Whats left:
1. tile in master bath
2. add toilet and complete shower walls
3. Ceiling in master closet and pantry
4. Trim work in large open area (great room)
5. Fireplace area (base for the fp to sit on)
6. flooring down and upstairs
7. drywall/flooring in upstairs bathroom
8. MOVE IN!
9. mow down the weeks if I can get the 9n running again (think the points are what is wrong...)
10. Turkey?
11. Loft/Stair railing (custom building this I think ).
12. Siding after we move in, maybe this year, more likely next year though.
13. Heat tape on water pipes under the house...JUST in case
14. put snow blower on the bolens tractor...JUST in case???
15. Who knows?
Oh...we need some doors...throw that in the list somewhere before flooring....
Weeds....they were taking over my driveway. Being me, I had to find an 'affordable' way to deal with them. Found a recipe online for a very affordable mixture that seems to have done the trick! (I will take pics tonight of the progress and post them here) Thought I'd share it if anyone is having this issue.
Mix 1 gallon of vinegar with 1 cup of salt and 1+tablespoon of dish soap (the kind you use at the sink, not in the dishwasher) and apply on a sunny, preferably hot day.
They say its difficult to get the salt to dissolve completely, I had no issues - Used a drill with a paint mixing attachment for about 2 minutes. We got a 15 gallon ATV mount sprayer, and not having an ATV, I set it in my garden tractor wagon and hooked it to the tractors battery. We drove up one side, down the other, and back through the middle of the drive, and sprayed all around the barn area on Sunday. By Monday evening, you could see the weeds were wilting, Tuesday, they were laying on the ground, Wednesday, they were crunchy feeling when you walk over them - now, they look just plain dead! We're gonna go through and pull them out when we get the chance, but it seems to have done the trick. They say that this will permanently kill them off, the salt permeates the soil and prevents anything from growing there again. Being a driveway, I'm completely OK with that! We used 26 gallons of vinegar, 26 cups of salt and about a complete bottle of dawn dish soap. I need maybe another 10 gallons/cups more yet as we ran out before finishing, but all in all, we have less than $40 in the Project weeds be dead.
Hope this helps anyone fighting that battle as well! I will post Pics tonight, but the will only be after pics, you should be able to imagine what it looked like before.
House looks great. Please know that you will find more finish stuff to do that isn't on your list and once you move in, works slows way down. Make sure you have ALL drywall work done before moving in.
About your weed killing mix, please list what you ordered and from where. When I was reading what all you used, I was thinking it was going to be way over $100! I just use diesel in a sprayer but it doesn't last more than a couple of months.

Oh don't I know it! Good news is drywall is done minus the small bathroom upstairs that is working at the moment. We plan to do trim work (minus what we did last night in vaulted ceiling room, so we can take the scaffolding out and put the floors in) after the move, probly even next year.
As for the weed killer, it was pretty cheap. Got the white vinegar from Mendards (local midwest 'home depot' like store, but in my opinion, much better) for $1.50 a gallon, and the salt was just regular morton salt you buy for your kitchen (can't be rock or any other kind they say) for what, $.80 a container I think? and just any dish soap is fine.
We bought I beleive 26 gallons (all we could find, but still need I'm guessing another 10 gallons or so to finish the driveway:
Vinegar: $1.50x26=$39
Salt: $.80x26=$20.80
Soap: we had several bottles from when we moved to Ohio, just used that, but I reckon about $3?
Total (and man was my guess way off on my previous post of under $40!) came around $65. For it potentially being permanent, I feel that's a small price to pay! I will keep you all updated on that next year, whether the weeds grow back or not.
Here are the results, I took pics last night:

I know it doesn't help that i've not weed eated since spring, AND my 9n is down, so can't run my sickle either right now....but we've been busting butt getting the house liveable, so hadn't really had the time anyhow. I really wish I'd have taken before photos of the weeds!
By the way, I wanted to add some info as to why I have a weed problem in my driveway. We took a lot of care and preperation to prevent the weeds in the driveway by placing a weed barrier down prior to gravel(12'x480' rolls of woven, moisture penetrable weed fabric, very thick stuff, 2 rolls at about $400 each!). My mistake was ordering 'crusher run' gravel, which was recommended by the rock company as a medium that would pack together very nicely. It did....but it had a TON of dirt in it. If you pull up the weeds, and remove the gravel around those weeds, you'll see that no roots penetrated the fabric, its ALL on top of the fabric. So, for anyone looking at driveway rock/gravel, I advise against crusher run (if in includes dirt that is, I hear some includes sand and that is what we should have got I think). We used Crusher run in the barn, and its fine there (although very dusty :( ):

Weekend Update!
Busy busy weekend! We started putting up trim in the 'great room', so I can get the scaffolding out to finish the floors. Its just 1x6 pine, polyurethaned. Plan for the future, on the slanted walls leading up to the white ceiling, is to put the t&g pine carsiding there inbetween the pine trim (like we are doing on our ceilings downstairs), and would really like to do it on that end wall as well, once the fireplace is in - hoping to have a 'rock wall' going up the center behind the chimney pipe, put the t&g on either side of that rock wall (when $ permits that is)

Also, picked up an appliance package off of craigslist for a really good deal, got the fridge cleaned, installed and making ice, and mounted the microwave. Stove is being cleaned today and put in place, and dishwasher will be installed tonight. To top that off, we got the flooring done in the kitchen and laundry area yesterday, hooked up the washer and dryer (again that we got a crazy deal on), and hung 2 of the downstairs doors that needed to be in go get the flooring down! (also, changed spark plugs and cleaned/recharged the K&N filter in my car this weekend as it was running awful, sputtering on acceleration and 'bucking' while crusing)

^My daughter posing on the new floor^
And, my dad's table saw decided to break (when turning it on, the torque from the motor seemed to cause the blade to drop into the saw, and pieces came flying out the bottom (c clips and washers and such) Scared us pretty good! So, I went and bought a new saw - I think we can repair the other, but not sure yet. one of the c clips is so tiny, I can't believe it held it together all these years!
New saw has an extremely nice stand that allows you to fold the thing up and wheel it into a corner on its side taking up very little room!

I think you'll find once you've moved in and drive on it regularly the weeds arent as bad, and the ones that pop up can be handled with a 2 gallon sprayer and some round up (if you arent opposed to such a solution. The crusher run is quite nice, because it does get really smooth and compacted.
I agree, the crusher run is pretty nice, just wish it wasn't dirt mixed with it! 2 cars daily pull in and pull out of the drive, but it hadn't seem to help the weeds much, especially down the center of the drive. You could hear them rubbing on the bottom of my little car when I'd come and go. we made it a point to drive off center so the wheels would run over the weeds on the edges/center, but these weeds seem kinda tough to kill off that way too! Now the barn, we aren't down there much now, the weeds were over waist high when I sprayed them! Now, they are laying on the ground dead ;)
I'm thinking of having more gravel brought in, but not crusher run, just regular drive way grave now that we have a solid base for it to sit on. Going to wait until I can plow out up by the house a place for the cars to park though.
For a short while, my local supplier switched from the normal grayish crushed limestone to a brownish product that looked a lot more like dirt. They quickly switched back due to numerous complaints (mine being one of them). I would lodge a complaint and see if they will do anything for you. The Brownish stuff was quite disappointing. Otherwise the place is looking great.

Ours is definitely brown and sure looks/feels like dirt...and a lot of it! When they brought it, there was more dirt than gravel in the mix, I asked them about it and they said it will compact over time, and it did. The driveway is certainly solid as concrete now. Not much can be done about this now though, since we have 600 feet of driveway counting the area around the barn - I don't feel like having all that removed and the limestone type added in (and I'm sure it will cost me a bunch to do). I think I'm ok now anyhow, as the weeds are dead and dried and are now grinding into nothing as you walk/drive over them! Hoping they don't come back next year.
Got the remaining appliances installed and tested last night. We now have a fully functional kitchen!
The cabinet lighting is not complete - its LED, and has colors that you can cycle through - I like the warm orange or yellow or whaterver color it is on the remote, feels like natural light. My daughter loved the purple, so we left it set that way for the evening for her. Anyhow, we got the appliance suite (fridge/dishwasher/OTS Microwave/stove) for $750, all items are like new, and man is that dishwasher quiet!

More to come, hopefully this evening.
I remember the first thing I had working in the house was the HVAC. Having somewhere cool to be in the summer made finishing the bathrooms much easier and the wife didn't mind being there. Once we had a bathroom, kitchen, and HVAC, we were ready to move in. Of course that meant that there was lots of work being done while the house was being lived in so it slowed way down, but you can put up with a bunch when it is nice and cool inside when it is hot out.
The kitchen looks great. Sounds like you know what to get your little girl for Christmas. Get her a good used poster bed and put those color change lights around the top. She will love it.
I also drive off center on our driveway to keep the weeds in the middle down! HA!

A/C and Furnace were done in April, so we've been working all summer in nice cool spaces! Made everything just so much easier! We plan to have everything done with the exception of trim work and kitchen ceilings when we move in - move in day is less than a month away now, so we are busting butt to get it done (if we don't move in by end of month, our quarterly home owners is like 3 times what it will be when we live there, so pushing mainly for that!) ! Leaving kitchen ceilings open for now just in case we need to run more wiring for anything (Cat5e, electrical, maybe we'll decide on a spicket on the front of the house later on... who knows!)
The only thing not working at this point is the master bathroom - I have to get the tile done and put the toilet in yet, and finish up the shower, and then we are good to go! That should all be done in the next week or two.
Lots or progress from the weekend! Just forgot to get pictures afterwards, so I took a few last night.
Bathroom vanity is complete (sorta - have to trim some drawers up to fit in without hitting the plumbing) and the plumbing was not fun! But, it works, and that was the end goal:
Pantry is done, with the exception of trim and the door (floors and ceilings were added this weekend)

Tonight, we are hoping to do the ceiling and floor in the master closet. That will leave the master bedroom floors to finish, and the open room on the loft, and the area where the fireplace goes. I also have to finish the finish work in the upstairs bath and complete both showers and the the tile in both bathrooms. We are intending to be done and start moving in within 2 weeks.
More to come!
Ceiling and floor in master closet complete, just needs trim now (like all other completed areas!)

Moving right along! Tonight, we start the open area of the lofts flooring, not sure we will finish it tonight, more likely tomorrow evening.
Everything looks great. That vanity worked out really well too! Nice job.
It feels like I spent a crazy amount of time this weekend at the house, but it feels like not much to show! However, I got most of the rest of the flooring complete.
Don't have a pic yet of the master bath, but I layed the tile Saturday evening.
Finished the loft flooring Friday night, now need to do the railing:

Tonight is tiling the shower, and prepping master bedroom for flooring, which will happen in the next few days.
Got pics of the bathrrom floor and started the shower, but ran out of steam to finish it, and thinset - so will finish the other half this evening:

Tonight, we grout, paint tub surround, and areas around tub that needed touched up. Also, going to hang the last two doors up stairs. I'm off tomorrow to do some finishing work stuffs (fix leaky drains at bathroom sink, affix butcher block top to the island, floor trim work at walls, add master toilet, add shower walls, possibly hang pantry barn door and build a temp wall on the dining room area that we are finishing later (will be my tool room until that time comes), and start packing tools away)
We start moving in Saturday!
Looks great! I didn't think I was a fan of the wood-look tile, but your installation makes it work. Do you get any sleep? :)

I was on the fence with the wood tile as well, but glad we did it! I do wish I had a different tile for the shower, but trying not to spend anymore $$ at this point, so using what we got leftovers of works. Plus, the wife likes it, so we're good!
As for sleep - we move in this weekend...I can sleep soon I think - got winter coming first though, so I gotta get the heat tape on the underneath exposed pipes, and seal them up somehow (thinking of building a frame around them, wrapping in plywood and tyvex or something, and stuffing that with left over insulation). And need more firewood! Once that stuff is done, I can sleep ;)
Well, we moved in as scheduled! One major hiccup though, I took Friday off to get some stuff buttoned up and the master bath toilet gave me fits! Originally, we weren't going to go with tile in the bathroom. So I installed the toilet flange to the sub floor thinking we were going to use waterproof hardwood laminate. Later, we found a really good deal on the wood tile so we just had to do that! Now, the toilet flange was 3/4" below the surface of tile (1/4" backer board, 1/2" tile). I used 3 1/4" flange extenders, silicone sealed the crap out of them (no pun intended) and sat the toilet on the flange with the wax ring. All seemed well, the toilet was sitting flush on the tile, no movement detectable, and everything was working. I leave the bathroom to go start another project, come back 15 minutes later and the base of the toilet was just seeping water. Great, remove toilet, inspect everything, which all seemed fine, replaced the wax ring and tried again - same problem. Added another 1/4" flange extender, but now the toilet isn't sitting flush on the floor. Oh well, I'll shim it I thought. Nope - same problem, water just seeping out. 6.5 hours, 4 wax rings wasted, and 2 trips to home depot, and I finally noticed something - when the water was seeping, the toilet was running, like it was loosing water. This didn't make any sense to me. Removed toilet, set some counter weighted 2x4's out on the porch, and put the toilet over the edge of the porch. Had my wife run water into the bowl and before it got even close enough to come out the drain, I saw this:

Water was leaking from an upper chamber towards the front of the toilet. You can't see any cracks anywhere at all. Well, another trip to Home Depot for a new toilet and 10 minutes to install and viola! A leak free toilet. Thought I was losing my mind!
Anyhow, everything else went without a hitch, 3 trips to storage locker (one more to go to finish it off) and several to my parents need done yet, but we are moved in. Spent the last two nights there.

Notice my entryway to the unfinished side of the house ( the dining room and my office eventually), just put up a 2x4 wall, some leftover drywall sheets, and made a makeshift door to seal that area off so the cats aren't rummaging through (walls are still open, so insulation is showing, not to mention all my tools and wood working stuff's are in there. Will use that area to finish up the trim work, and whatever odds/ends we need to do, before we finish off that end). We have a china hutch that will mostly hide that unfinished drywall, so no worries there:

Not a lot of updates, just been unpacking/settling/discovering things that have been boxed up for the last 4 years! I did get and installed the fireplace last night finally, and wired up the last and most likely final electric circuit (Front door/porch area). Otherwise, things are going well.
Its a mess, as we are unpacking during the evenings after work, but for short times. Maybe one day we will have it all finished up!

I love the boiler! We've not had to use any propane yet, and the house has stayed warmer than I typically prefer it to. Also, we don't run out of hot water with it running too! (we did run out of hot water the first few nights, when my wife filled up the bath tub and I took a shower right after....but not with this thing fired up!). Between that and the fireplace, we will hopefully never touch the propane, unless of course we run out of wood....but that is what the propane is there for!
