River Update

As noted previously (April 23), the family has embarked on a major project - knocking down the old River house and building a new one in its place.

Progress has been slow, but the amount of permits and studies and approvals and inspections to build a place on the waterfront is astounding in its....umm...thoroughness.

We had the chance to go down today on a rainy day to meet with the builder and check out where things stood.

Other than rainy and dreary and wet, it was nice to see a fully framed house with most of a roof. This was the first chance to walk through the bones of the new house.

There is a lot of work left to be done (obviously), but it was nice to see it this far along. In other words, not a hole in the ground.

I will admit that I still feel a bit of sadness every time I think of the old house being gone, but that will pass in time... And I have no doubt the new house will be amazing.
