- Steel security door instead of 9 light door.
- 16 plugs spaced around the interior every four feet, 42" off the floor. That gives her three on the side walls and five on the front and back walls.
- The floor, ceiling and all the walls are already insulated. We just have to provide the wall and floor coverings and put up the ceiling. (After upgrading the lighting from two bare bulbs to four - four foot LED fixtures)
- Upgraded the roof panels to the next higher quality metal. Lifetime warranty. They will last longer than we will.
Dropped it on the site of the old pool and deck. The electrician will do the hook up and add the mini split system.

They also delivered my Range House this week. A lightly used REPO from the same company. NO special orders, as is... but 25% off their asking price, which was already discounted. I couldn't have built it for that. And... it's a range house. I will only add a small window at the back and the turbo vent on the metal roof.
I already added the heavy hasp and good lock. Don't expect any issues, but ... 
The building contains the steel reactive targets, a couple hundred paper targets, plastic resealing targets, target frames.... chairs, table, you get the drift. I bought the stringers and stair treads and put them together. Pretty much set. Might add a storage shelf inside.- range house front.jpg (237.13 KiB) Viewed 1638 times

The range is in progress, but I intentionally built it in the shaded area. It gets HOT here, 100+ most of the summer. I have about 90 yards to the location of the proposed Berm.
Most of my shooting will be less than 25, but I do have a number of long guns to wring out... and a new AR10 308 for varmints and vermin.

The big event this week? The Generac Whole House Automatic Genny. We had one in VA for fifteen years and loved it. So, 22K and standing guard. It was installed this week and we have missed having it. They did a very neat job. We approved the running of the conduit along the back of the house due to the gas line in the ground, and other issues. It's the back of the house and we didn't care.

The major projects remaining?
- The She Shed mini split is the very next project, along with power to that building.
- Next is RamJack fixing a sag problem in the main line of the house, missed by the inspector.
- The mini split for my shop is third.
- Tornado Shelter is next on Tina's list after the two mini-splits.
** The VA is putting in the Wheelchair ramp within the next couple weeks. We are covering the cost of a second ramp, as they only provide ONE here.
You need two exits for safety in case of fire. VA's VA provided two ramps for that purpose. We would have moved the ramps but the VA said to leave them and have ramps MADE for the new location installed on arrival.
The ramps from the old house would not have worked. There was a six to eight foot drop from those porches. Just three steps here.
