Much of the initial framing is done. Trenches for drainage and incoming electrical are being prepped and dug. Today marked the first discussions of appointments and interior layout, and the decision to make some minor layout changes to the kitchen island/breakfast bar.

The DWP came to discuss electrical panel requirements, and work started on the roof for the kitchen area. Some of the garden stones had to be moved for where (presumably) the power conduit will be placed.

Fortunately, we don’t have any rodent the size of Punxsutawney Phil around here, but if we did, they’d see more roof decking and fascia being completed.

It’s a new month, the rain is over for the time being, and construction has resumed. The daffodils are peering out of the garden to see the new monolith.

Prediction calls for a typical January’s-worth of rain in the next 24-hours. The crew probably won’t be back until Monday.
