House: second story
I drove by the house today, and saw while driving into the community that we have a second floor! I could see the walls when I drove toward the house. That may be bad, because we may have headlights in our bedroom windows all the time. Oh well! Nothing we can do about it now!

We went back, Travis and I did, at 6:00 when I got home. I told him that we had a second story and he said, 'No we don't!' Evidently he had driven by at 3:00 and we didn't have a second story at that point. So, they got it put up within about 3 hours. Amazing.

It is a little scary how flimsy it all is. Just wood, surrounded by brick.

We walked around the golf course to look at our house from behind, because the guys were still working on it so we couldn't walk around inside. We ran into Mohammed and his wife, and chatted with them for a while. They said that our crew of guys is really good. That they have been very careful when discarding extra boards, and that they work really hard, starting early and staying late. It is nice to have neighbors watching our house being built!

Current Mood: excited
