Little of this little of that

Last week I hoped to glue down the EPDM (like rubber) sheet that will waterproof the balcony on the west side,  and allow me to complete the rest of the roof work.  Although the temperature reached the ranges we needed for the glue to behave,  the threat of showers just didn't allow the work to be done.    Now,  in hopes of keeping the plywoof surface dry,  we have a nice billowy tent happening.  I'm hoping the plywood stays dry enough that I can carpe diem when we get some sun and clear skies,  though that is not presently in the forcast for the coming week.  

On the bright side,  we now have a relatively dry space and some indoor work to do.  So this past week the second floor's interior walls begged to get framed up,  and we complied:  As predicted,  it all looks chaotic and indiscernible in photos,  but in reality it allows one to get more of a sense of how this is all going to be.  In fact,  we did a little wall moving -- just a little -- based on things feeling different than the damned designer led us to believe.  ;-)

Also still savoring last week's accomplishments,  

while feeling a little anxious about starting in on window installation.  Window delivery is scheduled for Monday am.....   In other words,  looking forward to another week in the land of clueless.   Have you ever been there?

clueless you do not look. the house, on the contrary, looks built by someone rather clued in. still gob-smacked here. a delightful outcome of tuning in preiodically is the way my jaw hits the ground seeing a few weeks at one go. a gal who beavers away at ME peace is mighty impressed by actual results.
I could use a good long gab with you, B. given the pace and long hours of your work, is there anytime when you might be able to fit that in? email me to let me know!
