And were back...

It's been so long since I've posted that the blog address doesn't even auto-populate in my browser anymore. Not to fear, we've been steadily making progress on the house. We've now lived here almost a month and a half which is hard to believe. I made the mistake of storing our winter clothes when we moved out of the apartment in August because we could have used them starting about two weeks ago. Yes, fall has arrived here in the Pacific Northwest which means rain and winds. I've always defended Seattle weather, but when you don't have heat and have some lingering holes in your exterior walls, the weather becomes quite the foe. Craig closed and insulated most of the holes this weekend which has helped but sweats have definitely become the standard dress around the mansion.

Craig has been doing a lot of work in our "Great Room." We needed to replace the support beams which hold up the second story floor because they weren't up to code and just didn't look good because they weren't uniform size. In order to do that, Craig needed to build temporary walls, remove the hold beams and then we put up the new ones.
