And, More Progress…

We have lawn!

And, the working space is almost done:

We should be able to start moving in there next week:

Looking forward to the Open House on the 16th of September!

With construction mostly complete (there is still completion of the shop/office space, paving and landscaping to be done), the next phase of this project begins. To borrow from DisneyLand, that is simply to make this one of the Happiest Places in the World to live for the residents, caregivers involved and families who participate.

Fortunately, we have some great models on how that can be accomplished with the people we know from other projects. It is a process though, and one that matures and blooms as we get other families involved!

Building a fun living environment is quite a bit more involved than the construction has been and is a process that really never ends. But, it is lots of fun! Getting the community involved and our loved ones involved in the community is part of it. We have a great start on the vocational part too that helps our folks be actual contributing members of the economy to earn their way. Planning vacations, day trips, etc. and more!

If you have interest in this project, it is time to express it. Thanks!

Wow, great photos as yesterday of Ridgeview at Lake Chelan

These show the shop going up on the outside, final grading happening, etc. On the inside, finish electrical and plumbing are happening and final cleanup is in 2 weeks with furniture going in after that.

Getting close!

We should have an occupancy permit on the home in May. It is getting close and the shop will go quickly too.

A friend just emailed me this photo he took from the air:

Unloading some stuff…

A couple of new details….

The stone was put on the fireplace today:

And, the soffits above the deck are mostly done:

The cabinets are all installed, trim is going in inside and flooring. There are lots of things coming together at this point in the construction.

Let me know if you want to have a look!

1st of March Update on Ridgeview Place in Chelan!

There is lots of news on our Ridgeview Place project in Chelan!

Construction first, cabinets and flooring are going in inside and finish carpentry is getting started. The exterior siding is being completed and paint will start soon after that. The weather should soon cooperate to allow us to finish the slab for the shop area and dig in the sewer connection. It could have an occupancy permit in May! We are even ordering furniture.

This is turning into a home with incredible spaces in one of the most stunning settings in the country!

Here are some photos:

Boxes of cabinets about to be installed.

We still have snow on the ground, and great views from the great room at Ridgeview Place.

Progress looks like this in construction!

On other fronts, we have some interested families that we have started talking with about possibly participating in the project. We have drafts being done of the much of the associated paperwork.

The vocational side of the project is growing at an incredible pace and is on track to meeting our financial goals for it.

It is an exciting time for this project as it all begins to come together!!
