Sometimes I hate to post about something until we’re done with a project. BUT, if I waited until we finish, it might never get posted! We worked on the patio over the Memorial Day weekend. It would be so much better if we had an entire work crew. Here is the progress so far. Here [...]

Really, I didn’t run away. I promise. Although, I wouldn’t have minded a little runaway time to a beach. I can’t believe I haven’t posted anything since January. We’ve been busy, though.

Our architect created 3D Sketch-Up Images so we could visualize our new space. I kept forgetting to put them up here. Also, I just figured out how to move around in Google SketchUp. I’m slow like that.
