I think there has been more progress in the last week than in the last 8 months combined!  I can barely keep up and I’ve been out there almost every day this week to check on things.

Yesterday, I stopped by during lunch and ate my salad as I watched them finishing the roof over the garage.

They were also starting on the mudroom/laundry roof that is one of my favorite features of the house.

They were even starting to put the wrap (might have a more official name?) on the house.

The second floor was almost completely framed.  I stood where the bed will be in the master and looked out the window at what will be a peaceful view to the east.

(I very intentionally situated the master bedroom so our bed could face east and the sun can gently wake us as it rises.)

(I’m a nerd.)

I also had a moment in my closet (not pictured).  By today’s standards, it’s not huge, but it will bring me joy to have all of my things in one place.  It also brings me joy that my husband will have a separate closet that I need not set foot in.  We have very different closet maintenance strategies.  I will leave it at that.

While on the topic of things that bring me joy, this nook here at the back of the office will be Josh’s mancave.  I’m very happy for him that he will have a mancave.  I’m also happy that it’s as far away as possible from the rest of the house so I don’t mistake sounds from Josh’s movies/video games for an actual threat to our safety.

A little off-topic, but this is on our drive up to the property and it just makes my day every time I drive by it.

Headed out again today to see if the main roof is on!
