Another hiatus

I have to travel to Austin for the annual field conference this week, so I won't be able to post an update until this weekend. Ellen is threatening to post her first blog, so maybe we'll all be able to see something new. It's supposed to be a busy week. Weather permitting, the exterior stone work should be complete, and perhaps the stone veneer for the fireplace will be installed. The stair railings and balusters should be installed. All of the tile should be grouted and complete. The interior painting should be finished. The interior window trim should be stained and installed. Beadboard for the ceilings should also be mounted. As Ellen said, I won't recognize the place when I return. If all that happens, expect a lot of pics this weekend!
