Last Stone


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
