After visiting our site last Tuesday, it really dawned on me how complex a project this has been. And it is still far from over! After seriously stressing over the size of the closets, the soundness of some of our layout decisions, the quality of our materials, and hundreds of other facets of this project on a daily basis, I came to the conclusion that this type of enterprise was just not good for my nerves... Honestly.
I suppose I should take my husband's advice and wait until the whole house is finished to appreciate the work accomplished. He is convinced that everything will turn out beautifully in the end. But I am of a much more skeptical nature, and I take pleasure in torturing myself every step of the way.
Incidentally, when I last visited our site, I noticed two major problems, and my propensity for negative thinking just kicked in full speed. Not a good thing. But I prefer not to dwell on these for now and just hope that they can be fixed promptly.
Some of the new developments this week include the staircase to the second floor. The staircase was partially done last Tuesday and the result seemed quite nice.
The cabinets for our Toilet and Bathroom came in and were being adjusted. While the bath unit was put in early on, we were told that the toilet would be one of the last items to be installed. So it's still an empty room for now.
Meanwhile another crew was working on the house's exterior, finishing up the mortar. The weather was on our side this week, helping dry the mortar, although that will probably not last through the week-end, unfortunately.

Here's the view from the Second Floor.

This doesn't look like an easy task, and you sure can't be afraid of climbing up and down the scaffolding.
