I'll guess 9 month - 1 year. I would just die if this was my last winter out here.

There's bathrooms and a tiny sink in the offices part on the south, but we need our own full bathrooms and kitchen. First steps are plumbing, need to bring water north to where we'll be, and likely run a new sewer line west. Then, electrician. Husband said he would start framing this winter but we scrapped a lot of the construction and will use the existing small offices ( +/- 10x10' ) as is. One room instead of building laundry room and storage will just remain open with both shelves and W/D in there.

The biggest room he's going to hang insulated metal paneling on the outside instead of insulation in the wall. That same room sliding glass door will replace the 1910 barn doors to the courtyard. Next to that replace window to courtyard. On the street side a front door will go where there's a loading dock door, and two windows for egress. We'll have to hire someone for brick steps to loading dock height ~3' ? to match the ones at the office entrance.

Then, interior things. Kitchen and bath fixtures, kitchen cabinets, drywall, flooring, paint. As $$ allows.

I hope everything goes as quickly and smoothly as it can. You guys will really like the extra conveniences.

Way to go!! Really happy for you guys. D prob has it in his plans... but was wondering if a super well insulated inside wall, separating your home from the business, might be planned to reduce shop noise? When I think of all of the wild wind & weather you guys have dealt with out of town... this ought to blow your minds. Hope you get lots of pics. Exciting stuff...
