I got comfortable in the vacation mode over Christmas and New Years. I took six days off from work. I am now running behind in EVERYTHING- not just work, but car maintenance, grocery shopping, home chores, and of course blogs.
Mike and I spoke with David Grammer, a construction professional from Telluride this week. His son Danny lives here. His daughter-in-law Leandra and he came out over the holidays to look at the work. She reads the blog, and they both wanted to check on the progress.
We decided to ask David if he might be available to help us with completion of the house and so the meeting came to be. Mike let me know today that David will start work with us on Wednesday. His specialty is trim work, which is mostly what we have left. I am very happy this is working out. I pray for God's hand in it.
The front entry walls are COMPLETED! The rooftop chimney is COMPLETED! Now for the interior columns, wall and chimney. Then on to the floors.
Lalo and his brother Ricardo have been working hard to get the ceilings stained before the mason team comes inside. Oh what a mess that will be.
Tracy, Betty Grace and I watched a spectacular full moon rise last night. It was just like 2007 Christmas Eve- a huge, fat, orange globe rising up over the town of Glen Rose. Not a whisper of wind nor cloud in the sky. I brought out homemade beef stew and we had ourselves a great time. Linda and Karen came out just as we were leaving, and we got to visit some more before going home to get ready to face Monday and the "real" world.
