I hate soccer







Howdy all.
Everybody is watching the bloody soccer game at work...I think I'm alone in saying it is the most boring, dull and Shakespearian sport on earth (though the acting is quite divine).



The framing is done on the inside and the fellas are framing up the front porch and the 'roof skirt' that wraps around the house between the first and 2nd floors. Bogdan and his boys are doing a really fantastic job...our neighbor Jeff is a city engineer and he's kept a close eye on the work and keeps telling me that Bogdan is doing an amazing job...super clean lines, no crappy wood being used "because" and there hasn't, touch wood, been any walls go up where there shouldn't be a wall. The roof is totally covered up now, shingles arrive next wednesday, so the house will really begin to look like a house. The guys placed a small bouquet of flowers on the highest point of the house, this is Polish for good luck and to signify the roof is completed...kinda cute but who's going to water them?




The plumber was to be there this week but hasn't been, not sure why...I assume Bogdan and his boys are a week behind, which is fine by me so long as the work is done well....quality not quantity....function, not fashion right?




The garage is done and is really huge...I can almost see a fishing boat and a Porsche 911 in there...not quite, but almost.





The windows have been ordered (2 weeks to arrive) as well as all the doors (another 2 weeks) so by the end of July, there'll be windows and doors, plumbing and hopefully, some electrical, in place.

This is the front door....colour to be determined....
and the rear-patio doors...colour TBD as well.
