Dear Blogger

You stink!  I am trying so hard to post every day, with pictures, so that I don't fall too far behind.  I'm already a day behind because I lost the camera card with Friday's pictures.  Today, I can't upload pictures.
Thanks a lot!

On Friday, they removed the forms from the walls, so we have free-standing cellar walls.  Sorry, can't post pics.
Today seemed a little slow, but not sure if that could have been any different.  They completed the forms for the front wall of Joern's garage.  Tomorrow, it looks like they'll the front of Joern's garage, and then put the forms up for the front of my garage, and maybe for the foyer as well.  Again, sorry, no pics.  But it is so cool to see the changes happening to our house!

Joern also picked up a sample of the wood floor today.  He also arranged to get samples of the master bath tile and the tile in the powder room. FUN!  While Joern was in Reutlingen picking up samples, he stopped at a store that sells fireplaces.  It turns out that we might just be able to afford to install a nice fireplace during the building process and not in a few years.  This is especially useful, as we plan to use the fireplace to support the air heat pump for hot water.  Exciting!
