This picture represents a big moment in the project Renovation EJC, a turning point, from DE-struction, to CON-struction. After weeks of tearing things apart, poking holes in walls, pulling out old wood and plaster, and accumulating vast quantities of plastic trash bags in the future bedroom, we are now building. This is our new kitchen subfloor, installed with the help of Chris and Estelle last weekend.

Everyone gets to take a turn with the respirator. Mom too, although she didn't take pictures.

Here's a link to a slideshow of the whole process, in reverse chronological order. We're trying to add more pictures every few days (when there is visible progress to document, that is...)

Interesting News

Almost one year to the day since I posted this story...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/04/AR2007040401721.html?referrer=emailarticlepg

but I heard on NPR this morning that the author of the story won a Pulitzer for it.

Anyway, how is everyone? Deborah and I just got back from NYC. Is everyone gearing up for the next round of weddings? Looking forward to Vermont.
