Cheers to the crew!

We met with our builder tonight and he had a lovely surprise for us: he and the guys chipped in and bought us a great bottle of champagne and a sweet card for our wedding. We were very touched. Guys, if you're reading this, we truly appreciated your kind gesture. Thank you so much. I'm trying to convince John that we should save it for our moving day (in July)!

We're a couple of days behind schedule, but still progressing. We're going to hold off on having our inspector come by until Friday so the guys can get a couple extra days of work in and we can get the maximum out of the draw (installment payment on our mortgage). The dates are a bit off, but the line-up remains the same: plumbing, insulation, electrical, mechanical, bricks and decks (the start of them, anyway) will all happen in May. And, finally, we got the drawings we needed from the engineer for the stairs! Our stair supplier is now ready to go when we are. Stairs = no more ladders. I can't wait!

We thought we would include a couple of photos of the back of the house. We can't get back far enough to get a complete shot, but the one on the left gives you an idea of how it will look. The top right balcony is off of our bedroom. The door floating in the middle of the house will lead out to our main deck off the kitchen, and the bottom door leads out from our office to a little platform.

Looking good, guys!
