Mud and Rocks

Norris has gone off leaving me in charge of watching progress. I didn't make it to the house yesterday as we had some snow flurries in the afternoon and I didn't expect a lot was happening.

These were taken mid-day - first here's the front door, nicely rocked in. Norris you can see the doorbell rock is a lot flatter than the surrounding ones. I also used this photo so you can see they have removed the rocks under the garage windows. The masons were having lunch in their truck but the water table stones were right there in the box ready for installation.




This next picture shows the installed water table under the foyer and studio windows. The ones around the side still look like the garage, but I expect those will be done before the crew wraps this one up, some time this afternoon.

After I took those pictures, the fellow in charge of the drywall crew showed up and briefly toured the house. He said the crew just started this morning. They had taped everything upstairs that they could reach from their stilts. Here's a picture of the dining room area that illustrates - all the high ceiling rooms look just like this. There was someone working in another room, but the lighting was not as good for a photo.

And finally a picture of the garage - my studio was in the same stage, with mud going in over the screws. There must have been just three workers today, but they weren't wasting any time.
