December 14 - BIG NEWS!!! Today, the first members of the framing crew arrived. Adam and Tom began by "snapping lines" to mount the sill on the foundation. Tom nailed the first piece of lumber to mark the foundation. Pretty soon, the sills were in and the first walls were up. The lolly columns and center floor support beam are on-site. Big progress !

Later, I dropped my Jeep off in the fancy garage I rented near the apartment. The garage will shelter the Jeep from snowfall during our Christmas break in NY. Stay tuned! H & MA.
