Let there be LIGHTS!!!

That's right! We FINALLY got our power turned on today. After a long 7 month battle, we finally turned on the lights in our house without the generator!! WOO HOOO!!! now, the fun begins and we can turn on the furnace, and get going on the inside wall coverings.
we also ordered our cabinets today, and the insullation guys started today and got ALL the exterior walls insullated on all three floors...ROCK ON GUYS!! Tomorrow we'll be all insullated and then next week hopefully we'll get our final framing/plumbing/insullation inspections passed, then we can start putting up our sheet rock and T&G Pine. AAAH!!!!!! how exciting is that. We will shortly be finishing one of the bathrooms so that we can start camping out there! SWEET!
Here are just some of the poles leading to our house......the PUD guys had to cut down more trees as they went so it's kind of a mess up there....but oh well....

This is the second pole on our property.....that white truck is in our driveway





these aren't just any old power poles....these are OUR POWER POLES!!! WOO HOO!!!! this one is on our road to our house.





TA DA!!!!! here's our last power pole.....alll hooked up to our panel...WOO HOOO

I have to tell you how much fun it has been to watch you build your house. Thanks for sharing. It sure looks like a lot of work but a whole lot of fun.
