The basement walls are almost done. The word is that it will have a ceiling by week’s end, and possibly the plumbing-in (is that right? I don’t understand builder-speak) and foundation could be well under way this week as well.
Up until now, I have been thinking to myself that this whole thing could still be halted by just pushing the dirt in the hole and we’d be back to where we started. It’s now sinking in that we’re really going to do this thingy. It’s exciting and nerve wracking at the same time. So if you interact with me in the next several months and I seem weirder than normal, it’s because this scary, wonderful thing is happening to Jerry and I.
