Is there an end in sight?

Well, as you can tell, we're pretty much 3/4 of the way done with the brick. In fact, the back of the house is a straight run, and with the corners already set, that should only take a few days. But people are asking me daily when it will be done, and I truly have no idea. I know when it needs to be done, but that may not be the same thing. It is looking good though.

Keep your fingers crossed for me that painting begins this week. That will go quickly, and once that is done, the electricians can get back in and begin installing fixtures. I'm very excited about that. I had planned to start buying some fixtures this weekend, but we unexpectedly got offered Panthers tickets, so we did that this evening instead. Priorities, right?

We also got the go-ahead from the post office to install our mailbox, or at least a temporary one. I'd like to have a brick column made at some point, but I think that should wait until after the last of the big trucks has to get in there. Once the remaining concrete is poured, we might be safe, but I want to go ahead and start changing addresses permanently instead of having to do it twice, so we will probably stick some kind of mailbox up for now and change it out later.

That's the update for now. Stay tuned...
