Hey! Louise blew out her 4 candles this week, a big pile of lumber has arrived and wonderful souls have popped out of the woodwork to help lay pipes, break through stone and pour cement... Amazing to see it all coming together; it's almost time to raise the walls! We have a new temporary kitchen (to be perfected down the road, but very functional for now) in the former "bathroom nook" and there's a great new vastness to our main room - very pleasant. The huge hole in the wall, under the archway, was nice for hearing the birds and let in an amazing amount of light, but yesterday we did close it up with plywood considering the nip in the air this time of year. Still, the weather is cooperating, and thanks to Gilles logistical genius, the project is pretty much on schedule for a snug structure to be up before winter arrives. The girls are on school break this week and we're attempting to have some nice family time. All the houses in the village are occupied this week, with chimneys smoking, windows lit up, and kids voices ringing in the air.
