So the friendly reminder on the header page says that I haven't put up a post in about 43 weeks...a mere 9 weeks shy of a year.

I almost needed a headgear splint to keep my jaw from dropping when I saw the progress on the house in only a three day span. From a concrete slab, they have already put up the framework complete with a roof. In the front entry hall of the skeleton house I see the windows! So it looks like they may get those installed and probably by the weekend ( Read more... )
