My realization of recent days is that blogging isn't my thing. In fact, this whole process is reminiscent of my teenage attempts to keep a diary - I never thought I had anything significant enough to write down which would result in defacing the beautiful book I'd purchased as my diary.
In any case, Andrew pointed out that it's been a while since I've posted an update. It has been an eventful last while on the house-building front.
We had a meeting with Dave, who broke the news that we already knew...that we are WAY behind on the construction schedule. I became a hard-ass and the outcome was a revised schedule with best case Sept 1st and worst case Sept 14th completion dates. In order to meet this deadline the guys are now working in overdrive.
We have slate in the laundry-room and foyer, hardwood in the lower level, priming the walls throughout and wood trim on the lower level. The siding is almost all done, the columns are all covered in stone and we have stone on the fireplace. It was really exciting to go there this weekend.
