Between thunderstorms, Peter and Chris cut and nailed something in the neighborhood of 200 pieces of 2x12 pressure treated lumber to use as blocking between the joists on the deck of the house. They are far enough behind because of weather delays that both put off their departures. Peter leaves for New York and New Orleans on Thursday, Chris leaves for Santa Fe on Friday. Today they hope to frame up the front porch and perhaps (should the buildings official arrive for inspection and the construction glue arrive on the boat) begin covering the deck with plywood. At that point, we are ready for South County Post and Beam to put up the frame. South County says they are cutting the lumber and need a week to hand finish it. They haven't yet booked the ferry.
PS: My horoscope for today. How hideous is this?
You at last seem to be making progress in a creative endeavor that has had several false starts in recent weeks. That's good but don't get carried away because there is a lot of work to do yet - this is only the first step on a journey that will last not for days but for weeks, months, maybe even years. Pace yourself sensibly.
