Bricks and stone!

They just started this morning and by late afternoon things are well in hand. Elena promised them sodas and snacks for tomorrow.

The stone. I would have preferred brick, myself. I thought this was just thin layers of stone over the brick. Now I understand the price a bit better.

Thats a big shower! 42" by 60" inside plus 12" for the seat. Marble pan and marble front and side walls. Glass end and sliding glass door.

Another one.

Wagner is not really in Mozart's league but Die Walkure is extraordinary. I love this version, and this is a wonderful piece. Gary Lakes and Jessie Norman. I don't think it could be any better.

Some music for Otta

Mimi is very sick and Colline, the philosopher, is going to sell his beloved coat of many years to pay for a Doctor. This is James Morris, excellent!



Barbarina has lost a pin she was to take from the count to her cousin. I have another performance of this and the next which is much better but it is packed.



The Countess wants to win back the love of her cheating husband. She has always been a loving and faithful wife.



This is really too good to be an ice cream aria.

Shingles and bricks.

In the morning.






Later. The roof is on.




The bricks.


The master bath. The window is moved. The shower pan is five feet and the seat is another foot.

They don't waste time!

There were a couple of mistakes in the house. I called yesterday afternoon to let them know and they already fixed them. I'm impressed.

The window by the front door was supposed to be deleted but it was installed. They have already fixed it.
Yesterday.


Today.


There was not enough room between the wall and the window in the master bath for the six foot shower. I told them we would accept a five foot shower but they moved the window. Wow!
Yesterday.


Today.



A couple of inside doors were not the correct size but they have already fixed those. The man in charge of construction is very impressive. I have a good feeling!

The back of the house showing all the window space. The center section will be a sliding glass door. (I couldn't upload this yesterday)

.

We're skinned!

They put the window in next to the front door. They will have to remove it.



The side, from the corner.


The back of the house.

Things are moving fast.

And from the back.
