Near perfect progress. Near perfect weather.

These are front and back photos from this morning.

I finished a lot today, even if it doesn't feel like much. Had a nice grilled pizza to top it off.

I spent the morning e-mailing and designing bathrooms and kitchens (again). Stopped by to talk with Gary the Farm Table guy, and we are nailing down the details. Did a quickie food-shopping at the Fly Creek General Store, because it was around the corner from Gary's shop, and saved me a trip to either Cooperstown or Richfield Springs. Got some good apple cider, peach preserves, pumpkin bread and oat bran bread.

Jim the Builder AND Jim the Worker were here today sealing the cedar porches. Gave them the lock from Brother Bill's room to use as a temporary front-door lock so they don't have to beat up the expensive lockset on order. (Thanks, Lisa!)

Since I left, the garage slab was poured, the front door installed, spray-foam installation is in and was inspected today, screen porch is pretty much finished up (minus the screen), and the sheet rockers are supposed to come tomorrow. French doors coming Monday. The only other things still held up are waiting for decisions from me, and I expect to get through most of them this week. The appraiser is coming tomorrow, and that should get us the supplemental loan.

Ahhh! Time to take a breather. We're getting there.
