Moving along, with a few hiccups along the way

After a week of rain, our bricklayer has returned to the site and completed the southwest wall of our house today. It looks like the brickwork will be completed this week, which will free up space at the front of the house for work on the front porch to begin.

We also had a nice-looking wall installed between our office and the bedroom on the first floor. Unfortunately, it was installed prematurely. We want to keep the option of removing that wall in the future, so the floor needs to be finished under it. Right now, all that is there is raw DaroTopp (lightweight cement), which would leave a pretty unsightly stripe of bare concrete if the wall were removed.

Things are looking up I'd say. Maybe just a few more weeks and I'll be able to go to the party.

No walls! Didn't you already have this conversation?
Oh well, begin again.

No, it's actually okay. It turns out that they had to install it for various reasons. We will have to refinish the floor if we remove the wall anyway. It's fine now.
