Getting Close!

We can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. On Tuesday the electrical inspector did the final inspection for that and we got his seal of approval. Next up is the Building Inspector and Fire Marshall. Only a few odds and ends left (mainly baseboard) and then it is on to cleaning the place up and getting ready to open!  Here are a couple of the latest photos. You can see the tasting bar is now covered - there is still some molding to go on it. The stairs are finally finished to the cellar and the molding is all up.

Latest Pictures

With the blog appearing on our brand new website - cellar426.com I thought it time to provide a photo update.

Odds and Ends

Retaining walls below the deck are finished right before our first snowfall of the year:

Rock is added in the ditch north of the service road to provide erosion control. Unfortunately not quite complete before snow!

Tasting room west wall gets molding around windows

Office/food prep area tile completed

First Snow!

Front Entry

The stone work is finally done as the front columns are now complete! The entry way has taken shape and we finished off the remaining siding & got that painted..  One door has been stained (as we are nearing winter, days warm enough to stain & paint are a premium!). The other door will get replaced as the company installing them damaged it. The positive is that we can stain that one inside before they hang it.  You can also note the new sidewalks left and right of the vestibule.

We are now trying to finish up some odds and ends outside in the remaining nice days we have. Forecast for Thanksgiving is 60 degrees so we will plan our Turkey day events accordingly!

Front Doors

The front doors are now installed and look beautiful!

The west side of the building is now finished as we got the painting wrapped up.

An update at last

Well it has been quite a while since my last update. Going hard at it every night until 11p has made it difficult to find the time or the energy to update the ol' blog, but here, finally are some new shots:

The front siding is now up and painted!

The stone work is also coming along:

The deck is now complete:

The back siding is also complete and the painting has begun

Grass is growing north of the building:

 

Inside painting of the main tasting room is complete (hopefully pictures coming soon). Just the bathrooms and office area to paint!

Long hours working on the winery have kept me from providing an update on progress. A lot has been going on:

The parking lot and sidewalks have been put in:

The deck has been started:

Some exterior painting has also been done and the main level is now primed:
