While I was gone to Kansas, Sonny, John and Norma put in the insulation. Most of the drywall was done last weekend. I have already start taping and mudding. I hope to prime everything next week and then get it painted by the 1st of July.
Pictures to come along soon. Soon as I get MY computer back up. :)
Our attempt to document Florida Homesteading @ Liberty Retreat. Our cash only homesteading of 10 unimproved acres in the Florida panhandle into a home first, then build smaller cottages for long term/short term rentals. Camping sites too, which are available now. Only 30 min from Destin shopping & beaches. Email for more info. Why is it taking so long? There will be many stages, steps and mini-projects required to make this happen, as well as the most important element -cash-

Welcome to our world.

Insulation had arrived!
Amazing to me is in the days when "Global Warming" is a hot topic and going green is on the top of the list that one cannot find the simplest things.
Insulation, cotton, enviromentaly safe and sound is among the hardest to find. Of course we can find all kinds of information on it and we did. However, to find it in your local home store is near impossible.
We found a compay who sells it, but they had no stock so Sonny and John had to drive to Georgia to get it from the the distributor. They could have shipped it but said it would be another 700.00 for shipping. OUCH! Even with gas prices as they are, it was still cheaper to go get it.
So the weekend will be busy with the flurry of getting insulation in the walls. I'm so excited! I can't wait to get home and grab my trowel and start mudding :)
