Our projected date for having all of the stonework done was
August first. We made it with two days to spare! It feels wonderful to have an
end of stone and cement, and the finished product looks spectacular. There are
easily 10,000 individual stones on the seven walls of the first floor. Sam has
got six sides of the second floor finished with the shingles he individually
cut with the scalloped design…only one left to go. Soon we should be able to
put up the rest of the trim and moldings in preparation for a coat of paint.
Jim
If you have ever seen Fight Club then you may
understand. Walking to the house, behind Jim I was not sure of his presence or
mine. Was he of my imagination or was I his shadow? On days like this things
just come together. Time freezes and flashes forward at the same instant. The
house, when we stop to look is almost a mirage. But it is real. He is real. Am
I a shadow? Sam
