Today was a very strange day- we woke up as if we were going to work, but instead we were just preparing for the arrival of the construction crew. We intermittently worked on our computers, answered questions from the crew and did some crazy shopping for the new addition.
The funniest part of the day was when our contractor was using his snowblower to make room for the lumber to be delivered. With it being so cold here last week, Libby (our dog) didn't get as many walks as she normally does. Instead she would just run out in the backyard and then come back inside as soon as possible. So as the snowblower went, all of the sudden out flew frozen dog poo that had been covered by the snow. We think it all got caught by the fence, and we're hoping it didn't launch into our neighbor's yard. If we do discover that it was launched into her yard, what is the appropriate way to apologize to her? Do we just get her a nice plant in the spring since she'll have a well fertilized yard? This is likely just the first of many adventures of the project- and we're happy we were able to get a good laugh to start things off.
In any case, here are some photos of the project- one from when we moved in & the second from this evening.
