About six or seven masons showed up on Saturday to keep company with Ted and Mike…who were adjusting the art niches in the stairwell and finishing the soffits in the basement.
The masons made great progress, finishing the south wall of the MBR and half of the west MBR wall while laying a few rows elsewhere. It’s exciting to see the exterior coming together.
Separately, Anne and I spent about three hours with Jim Ambrose going over wood, tile and carpeted flooring. We covered all the rooms and most importantly – Hannah and Mads approved of the colors, textures and ‘softness’ of the carpeting for their bedrooms!
