OK, its day thirty and now I feel like an official blogger. Today they guys completed most of the framing for the welcome landing. One thing guys if you are reading this... where do the windows go? Today was also the day the work started on the main floor inside of our house. They had to build a temporary wall in our dining room so that they can rework the way the old house meets the new addition. This work will be critical to the way the old and out of square and in some places sagging, connect to the new. I have no fear though, because the guys at O'Leary Cole are true craftsmen and will not stop working this area until everything is perfect. The driveway is now full of lumber again and the street in front of the house now has an even larger dumpster than before. I have given it the nickname big red. Today was also the first day the electrician was on site. We are trying to coordinate a service relocation (move the wire) with duke power. We will be burying our power line so we will have to dig another trench. Ah, more digging! We also decided to go with custom doors for the welcome landing. I think Vanessa and I really want this area to shine because it is the entrance we will use the most as a family. It's hard to know where to save money and were to go for the best but we are finding compromise easier with each decision. A stone mason will visit tomorrow to give us some ideas for a fireplace, that should be interesting and fun. I am looking forward to seeing some roof rafters go up soon or maybe even some stairs for the welcome landing who knows. So much is done, yet there is so much left to do. This is truly a journey.
