Day 104 - Wood You?

While photos of progress on the house are not as dramatic as when it was being framed, a lot of work was accomplished this week.  Just watching it made us tired....including Raven, our resident feral kitty who keeps us amused at the apartment.

"Thank goodness it's Saturday!"

And while we had an unwelcome guest this week, we had a welcome guest visit from our other feral kitty, Skeeter. We left the patio door open a bit and her kitty cat curiosity led her inside the apartment for a minute or two.

"Check ya later, things to do."
Before we finalized our flooring selections, we double checked our wood floor choice by laying out a box of the wood in our great room.  Since the wood will be used throughout most of the house, we wanted to make sure it looked good in the ambient light.....and it did.  So, we are another step closer toward concluding the many, many selections required for this project.  A lesson learned for us was the value of taking a selection to the job site to evaluate it.  Garrett Henry of Abbey Flooring has been advising us and he is a very knowledgeable and personable young man.

Danny and his electrical crew are still plugging away at wiring the house.  He told me one day "Ma'am, this is a very difficult house to wire."  We admire his attention to detail and appreciate his efforts to make us happy with the job.

We'll close with yet another snake story........Bruce was walking around the house taking pictures this afternoon when he felt tug underneath his right boot.  He looked down to see a long, thick brown snake slithering away from under his foot!!!!  Even though it was a non-poisonous critter, I am soooooooo glad I skipped the trip to the house site today!!
