An update is coming. Life happened but all is well. Gimme a few days and an upload photos.

We decided to put cedar lap siding on the living quarters portion of the building. We bought unfinished cedar and are staining it before hanging it. Here's a photo. We hop to be done next week. 168 16' pieces with 2 coats each of semi-transparent stain takes a lot more time than we first thought!

Moved into the new attic office. Very roomy. Social distancing for sure!!

Awesome day - primer going on the drywall downstairs and ready to prime upstairs tomorrow. The usable size of the attic continues to stun me.

Dry wall hung and metal siding is on.

Well, we were sweltering in our little camper and after a day and half of hard work SWAMBO and I got the 100' run of 100 amp wire in conduit, in the trench and hooked up to the RV outlets. We now have a two full (water sewer 50 amp power) RV hookups. The AC is on and blissfully cold :bounce:

Rough electrical is done. Windows are onsite. Windows and siding will be installed next week.

Rough plumbing is done. Pictures tomorrow. Electrical started today. I was able to trade my electrician my 1969 Ford Mustang for the work on the apartment, shop and equipment shed. Good trade and glad to eliminate another possession.

SWAMBO is appeased. Sleep well Gotham! Edit or delete this

Yeah, it is a truck camper. We use it for fishing trips etc. Usually for me sometimes me and Lehua on fishing trips. Our plan was to "live" in it if/while the apartment wasn't done. After one night of doing that we have taken the opportunity to re-think that approach and bought a 22' 5th wheel...
