Stairs, Roof and a Major Surprise

Do you notice anything different about the front of the house today? That's right - we have a door!! Eventually it will be painted black to match the house which will really make the glasswork and lead stand out.

As many of you know Ella is loathe to move. She loves the new house but wants to keep both houses. We are trying to make building the house a positive experience as much as possible. So guess who was the first member of our family to get to walk through the door? Ella; and she loved it.

We also were pretty excited when we walked in and saw that the stairs had been started. Sometimes it is fun to know what is going to be worked on next, but sometimes it is fun to get surprised, as was the case tonight.

And to top it all off the shingles were started on the roof. They were able to get a lot of the back of the house done already.
