GREGG'S COMMENTS:

Wow - talk about teamwork..... it has been amazing being part of a team that is accomplishing what most GC's would take a couple months to do. I never thought I would get to know the inside of Home Depot so well .... amazing staff that is full of advice but a bit short on actual experience with the products they sell. When I arrived and Vic and Maddie bought two small air conditioners for their new condo I thought about telling them that there was no need for them on my account - simply open a few windows and I'd be fine. Talk about hot and humid .... I spent a few days working at or in the ceiling crawlspace and I am sure the temperature was well over 100 degress most days. I am grateful that they had the foresight to get the air conditioners! There is still much to do but today I started sweating the copper and wiring up a few outlet boxes ..... always a sure sign that the project is coming along. Hooray!

There are still some interesting things to accomplish .... framing 71 1/2 degree slopes from the top of the skylights to the bottom of the ceiling, installing a new tub and fixtures, installing IKEA cabinets on a floor that has settled nicely during the past 100 years ..... yes the next week will be an interesting one .... stay tuned!
