The framing is moving right along and we are pleased with the progress and what is taking shape. It has not been without its' share of heartstopping moments. Twice in two weeks now we have found 'issues' with dimensions and design regarding our southfacing wall. Keep in mind that this wall holds most of the glass in the project and that the glass is far and away the most expensive part of the project AND that they are ordered and CANNOT be returned. So if the dimensions and framing of the wall that holds this glass is not built both solidly and in a way that allows them to be installed, we could end up with some pretty expensive hunks of trash. LOTS of animated conversations between the parties involved. Not yet fully resolved in my mind at least on the path...
A large pine tree was taken down this week that posed a risk to the building. Solo and very mature pine trees are very prone to coming down in storms. While I am competent with a chain saw after using one for over 40 years, the risk of taking this one down and the possible consequences made it too much to lay on the line. Urban Tree took it down and it really cleared the space.
A roofer who is way more reasonable regarding the cost has been found so while still over budget, it helped a lot.
Our house is under contract but still working its way through the process. I will not relax until we are clear of the hurdles. No news of real issues with the house inspection but won't know for sure until tomorrow...
The sleepless nights continue and will for a while.
