TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Yup... two years since sitting at Tira's Colgate graduation and getting texts from Dan that the excavator had moved its first dirt.  I would not have believed that it could take so long... and that we would feel fine about it taking so long.  In fact I feel only appreciative of all the hurdles and hassles that have been handled by Dan and crew and thankful that we're closing in on it.

Last of the tongue and groove coming over on Sea Biscuit.  Interior walls in process.  Communal bedrooms a thing of the past... end of an era.

Aluminum angle iron on shutters will serve as prop point when open and latch/lock when closed.

Interior walls going up downstairs.

Walkway from top of drive to living level of cottage.   Or enter through the upstairs bathroom.

Rigo stairs down the bank.

Using the extra siding to cover what used to be plywood.

Upstairs floors... simple gray paint right over the plywood.

Extra stainless steel hinges being put to work for home-made screens.  Swinging allows access to the shutter to prop it open.

First screens!  Securing the perimeter.  The first salvo in the bug/rodent wars.
