The walls are going up! Driving home from work, I glanced up the hill from the freeway and you could actually see them! Hah! And you thought that Dick would never get off his fat butt and actually do something (I didn’t think so either).

So glad to see thst Dick has “recovered” from all his ailments. Now if you can just keep him healthy you might see real walls by summer. By the way, where is the “wine cellar”, in case I come to visit. I didn’t see that on the tour.

Ahh. Building. We’ll be getting back on that when we return home from Patagonia. I hear the weather is great…hard to imagine when we’re down here with the penguins and freezing our fannies off! Have a great week!

So glad to see the saga continuing. It’s like waiting for the new season of Mad Men to start. Love that you called it a Mistress room. lol

Surely Dick holds the record for the longest time to build a house. At least the walls are big steps. Keep a blow torch to his behind. The mistress room really looks interesting.

Your patience with this project has been amazing! And when it’s finished, the house will be amazing, too.
But oh my goodness. It has taken sooooo long!!!

OH my gosh I can’t believe it. New Walls Up. How exciting you must be. I will say my prayers that he stays well and active so you can hurry up and have that mistress room finished.
Do you have a writing room?

Oh my gosh! It looks like a house!
Hooray, hooray!
And while I love the see through walls to the amazing view…I bet you’ll be chilly in the winter if he doesn’t get his butt in gear!
What an Xcruciating wait to get your house finished!
Thanks for sharing the progress with us, though.
