Turning the corner

Last night Mike said, "We've firmly turned the corner; we are building now." That may not seem like much - and these pictures may not look like much - but he means that we're basically finished with much of the DEstruction phase and into the CONstruction phase. YAAY! Actually, we have done more construction than he gives himself credit for, but this does seem different. We will still tear down more things, but today we worked on the floor for our upstairs bedroom/study/sitting area and bath. And our heater arrived so that we can put our sweet long-suffering son-in-law to work while he's on his Christmas "vacation" here. You can see Mike at work here (well, OK, surveying his work here) but even I was able to use the nail gun and put down some boards and tar paper today.
