Today was a huge epic milestone day in the project. I feel like a teenager who’s long time unrequited love finally sent a signal that they might like me back. Yes that kind of giddy. And all because 90% of our new windows were installed! Tomorrow the entry way giant windows go in (equivalent to …

Still having fun doing this
I may be a little behind on posting. But hey life seems to perpetually devour time and energy for this busy family of 4!

Day 1 of ??
Last night I woke up at 2am. Unable to sleep, I checked my email and was surprised to see that our General Contractor had written to say something to the effect of “Look forward to starting tomorrow!” Now, being busy working parents, I know we can be a little less than completely together at times. …
