Thursday

A "Wow" week of production!

This past couple of weeks have been high production. Brad has been completely focused on a million details; Dan has stuck to the cedar work while accomplishing other tasks of great significance in between; and Josh has been Josh-of-all-trades as he's worked various jobs like siding, insulation, and blocking. Carl has been getting the Milestone in the bathroom completed; Tim has been doing our metal work; Steve has almost completed the plumbing; and Ed has been continuing electrical after work in the evenings. And me, I've been doing this and that to support the whole operation. It's an exciting time as the pieces come together and we can actually see a time when we'll be residing at Grace Lane.

Our appliances were delivered this week. The concrete floors will be stained this weekend. Next week the sheet rock will go on the ceiling; the interior siding will go up; and the roofing will go on. Windows will be delivered shortly as well so we'll soon be enclosed. And, the Murphy bed is due to arrive any moment to enable the continued construction of cabinets in the guesthouse.

The to-do list is still very long but the end is in sight which gives us great pleasure but sadness as well. This building process has been full of huge feelings of pleasure, stress, happiness, and confusion, to mention a few. We'll miss the day-to-day challenges but we know we'll thoroughly enjoy living in this piece-of-art home we've created with Brad's amazing design, vision and construction skill.
