The timber frame home site in Lincoln, New Hampshire is coming along nicely! The timber frame is scheduled for delivery September 23rd and the timber frame crew is waiting anxiously to put up the timber frame and T&G decking, which will take approximately four weeks. (The home is 3500 SF and has 300+ timbers.)

The timber exterior envelope will be structural insulated panels (SIPs), which are scheduled to deliver on October 13th and take about two weeks to install. Once the panels are on, the general contractor’s crew will put the roof on and install the Eagle windows into the pre-cut panels, completing the weather-tight shell.

Check back often for more progress updates and new site construction photos.

Okay, not everything is going to taste great cold, but I could name one dish that it delish cold.  Well, I could name a few.  SPAGHETTI and MEAT SAUCE.  Stop making that face again. It gives me the creeps.

Today, I was so hungry and I remembered that we had spaghetti and meat sauce in the refrigerator. I tend to eat dinner leftovers for lunch.   I methodically put in only a cup of spaghetti in a glass container for the microwave since carbs make me gain weight.   (I usually don’t use the microwave that much unless I need food heated up quickly. I worry that microwaves destroy the food nutrients. See this article.)

I was so hungry waiting for that darn microwave to heat up my food…
