We're proceeding apace with the walls, which look so lovely when they're done - from a distance they look like stone. Labor intensive and messy, but beautiful. We also have the framework for the round green door done. So we're looking hobbity! The masons from Rock-n-Stone returned and gave us a chimney, so we've been working out the idiosyncrasies of our stove and seasoning it gradually. We've had loads of help from Deb in spite of a hand injury, plus Sam and Erin and Dave. Loree and Fran put in an admirable and beyond the call of duty effort last weekend- bless you both! Mom and Deb started on the bottle wall this afternoon while I was at work and it is lovely - the pictures don't do it justice. Matt's family has put in their two cent's worth too, splitting and laying up wall. Lauren likes to split wood - Matt starts her on the wedge and she pounds like a madwoman! Dad, our advisor cum laude, has been sidelined by rotator cuff surgery, but is healing up pretty well. It looks to be a long haul for him healingwise, but thankfully they were able to figure out what was with him and fix it.
