Hey there friends, just got a little poke in the rear from an e-mail saying UPDATE YOUR BLOG and then realized I’ve been a little lax about keeping up with my writings on Quadomated and Caleb the super dog. Seems I have a bit of a one track mind (been that way my whole Read More

Thought I heard the buzzing of Paul Cyr and Gary Lavaway’s motorized parachute in between rain showers over the weekend, but wasn’t sure until now. Check out these super cool photos that showed up in my inbox this morning of Quadomated a few days after the pavement and just Read More

So yeah, it has been a few days, but I’ve just been so busy getting everything ready for the electrical (i.e. the high-voltage and low voltage stuff) that I’ve been focusing in on that. You should see the Excel document with 7 worksheets, one in particular with more Read More

What a bustle of activity up on the hill today! I was so busy this morning working on webpages and doing homework that I didn’t make it up to the job site until 2 PM. By that time the sun was shining full force through all the front windows and even without insulation I Read More

Well folks, was hoping to have some pictures/video of the concrete being poured today, but the concrete contractor wanted to wait until the warmer and sunnier day of Saturday.  Let’s hope that the forecast stays at high 60s with sun. Wanted to mention something special we Read More

Another busy day on the job site. Earthworks trucked in several loads of 3/4″ washed stone to serve as the under structure for the concrete slab. The stone was leveled to a depth of 12″ under the main portion of the house and 10″ under the garage (to allow for a Read More

Earthworks put in a strong day at the site and got a whole lot accomplished today. We’re extremely happy with the progress so far! I showed up at the site this morning to watch Mike and John work the bulldozer and vibrating roller as several loads of gravel were trucked in Read More
