Interior work beginning, exterior still delayed

Well, the exterior of the home is still only close to complete, due to a slight problem with the installation of the septic system.

Over the past couple of days, crews have been here working on the exterior finish of the home.

How?

In my last posting, I explained the "why" of the Retirement Home For Senior Wieners. In short, because it's necessary. In this post, I'll try and explain the "how" of the design.

Why?

If it were just myself and my personal pet, Sidney, there's no way I would be building the home/sanctuary I am building.

Holiday Schedules

Well, there hasn't been much to write about over the past couple of weeks due to Holiday scheduling. That's not to say that nothing was accomplished.

No, it's not quite ready yet, but you can see from the pictures below that things have progressed.

As promised, the framers returned this morning, bright tailed and bushy eyed, promptly at 7:00AM to begin the framework.

Continuing to move along

Well, if you read my last blog post, you know that things were delayed slightly while a problem with the foundation of my sanctuary/home was corrected.

Credit where credit is due

In any project as complex as the construction of a new building, there are bound to be problems. My home/sanctuary is, it would seem, no exception.
