Today the floor joists and related materials were delivered, tomorrow the carpenters will start their framing magic. The floor joists are a testament to the mighty triangle. Because of this style of joist, we won't need any posts in the basement. It will be a wide open space for bikes, roller skates and any other madness that the kid(s) can dream up.

Kid & work-free progress
Over the break, we had 3 WHOLE days to run house-related errands while Lucy was in daycare. It was a very productive few days:
- Met with Mike (designer) to rework the mud room, fireplace area, and a desk near the kitchen. Very happy with our new direction! The mud room will now have bountiful shoe storage, something that we were missing.
- Chose a fireplace unit - going a little modern with a Heat n' Glo Cosmo - pay no attention to the price, a contractor discount is an amazing thing!
- Took delivery of washer, dryer and stove, all of which need to be replaced due to major damage while stored at ApplianceSmart. The good people there are really making the situation right and replacing all of the units with ones in perfect condition at no additional price.
- Met with John (contractor) and Dan (lumber yard) to order the windows and make exterior door choices. Nothing that a 3+ hour meeting can't solve!
