Apologies for the slow blogging today... Workmen (Lane and Pasquale) arrived today to start on some of the changes we're making to our new home before we move in. The first thing I noticed? They arrived early, and immediately jumped into the task at hand. Here they're working on a fix to a problem in an upstairs room: it has a 2" floor height difference to it's neighboring room, which makes me stumble practically every time I walk through. The fix is to put a “pony wall” (a short wall) across the height transition, except for one four-foot wide walkway, which will have a gentle ramp to it. At the same time, they're hanging wallboard to cover the previously exposed heating duct over the area. Both efforts are visible in this photo.
They'll be back at 8 am tomorrow morning, so blogging will be light until the weekend...
