Monday morning has arrived, and we hope to get a great deal of work done this week. At this point we need to put up finish wallcoverings, floor covering, final electric and plumbing, paint, and roofing.
I had an email this weekend which I will address here. There have been several questions as to why we [...]

Late in the afternoon yesterday the system for installing our prototype deck handrails was established, and much of the prep work to install all of them was done.
