Taking advantage of the day off from the snow ‘storm’ (so far it looks pretty wimpy) I finally got around to updating our construction web site. We have started to ‘cheat’ by hiring someone to help get things done. Initially it was just for the pool framing (I dispaired that we would ever get it done as the sides keep sluffing off) but the guy doing the work (Danny) is doing such a great job we decided to ask him to compelte all the exterior walls as well. He is probably getting at least 8 months of work done for us (likely a year or even longer, I am such an optimist) and now I feel very comfortable we will have the project done by Thanksgiving and a family reunion.
