..whatever.

For those who read this for the house news: there is light. We snooped again yesterday. Sunday seems to be the quasi-ultimate day of rest. Sometimes they work. Sometimes there is peace. Yesterday there was peace, and we arrived at the abandonned worksite, clambered over the thawing muck, avoided little bit of wood, nails, and construction refuse everywhere around the perimeter. We toured our top floor for the first time. We took a small smattering of photos, though not nearly enough to please me. Time lingered and guests frettered.

For those who read this for the house news: there are stacks of shingles on the raw plywood roof, there is a three-step concrete porch, there are windows waiting for installation, there are bathroom bits starting to form where required by interest, there has sprouted a boxy little chimney high atop the interest spaces, there are frames and folds, there are doorways corners and nooks, there is a wooden rectangle to hold medicine cabinets, there are stairs and steps on multiple design. We have the shell of a house. We are excited.
