Okay, now I'M back...long update time!

10/20/2009:  From deep in the tundra...well it feels like it anyway!!!  When the mornings start out below 20 degrees, it takes a bit to get moving. ;-)  I realize (from the multiple harassing emails) that I am a bit behind in updating the blog...I do have a good excuse...or three though!  Work was at a stand still for a while due to more rain then there was a short trip to NY to visit my sister and her family and 10/9 found me on the operating table once again...left elbow this time!  Of course the biggest hold up was the fact that my computer was at the doctor for two weeks leaving me with a ton of catch up emails and such.  Now that  the excuses are out of the way...on to what you really came for...an update on the project!!!  I'll just add them all on one page by date.

10/1/2009:  Mike and his guys worked on more details that weren't as visible (the concrete work is more obvious minute to minute) but they did add the railing - wow what a difference!

10/2/2009:  The stairs finally went in on Friday...no more going all the way through the house or using a ladder to get up on the deck - yeah!

10/3/2009:  While I was in NY visiting, Jeff was in charge of photography as Mike's guys added the new roofing and posts for the stairs...

10/6/2009:  Garrett, Paul and Tony claimed Tuesday as theirs!  They came in and finished up detail work though there are no pictures to prove it! LOL  I did manage to capture one of them with the patio replica cake I made for them...unfortunately by the time they got it, the cake was three weeks old and worth nothing more than a good picture...good thing they got to taste the scraps when it was first made!

The inquiries for a blog update are flooding in again so I'll wrap up for now and continue with a new post hopefully later today...believe it or not, we are only DAYS away from completion!!!
