We have stairs. Actually, not stairs, just the treads, and not quite all of them, but this is the first chance I’ve had to check out the second floor. The structure is just a shell, but every week it comes closer to being a solid structure.

Inside the new family, there hasn’t been a lot happening lately. The biggest change is that the electrical wires have been moved and cleaned up to prepare for the work to come. This process just seems to drag on and on. But if I sound like I’m complaining, I’m not. It’s just part of the process. Unfortunately, the weather and heavy rains have caused delays in work. And because the subcontractors working on this job are also on other jobs, when the neighbor’s job gets delayed, that means that this one will as well. The roofer, mason, electrician, even the town inspectors get backed up and it affects all schedules.
