We left home before dawns early light this morning to deliver doughnuts to the framing crew and to meet with our builder Chris, and our Site Superintendent Mike. It was light by the time we reviewed the mock-up of the fireplace Mike made for us. We selected the gas fireplace months ago (Heat & Glo 6000) and now it is time to envision it in the house with a cherry mantle and a raised hearth (recent addition by Jay). There will be cherry cabinets on each side of the fireplace in Craftsman style.
The little deck off the second story master bedroom is going to be a wonderful place for morning mocha overlooking the lake in warm weather.
Hooray for the framers who are finishing up Jay's garage today in preparation for roofing material delivery Monday. Jay, Chris and Mike made all the decisions about the garage second story interior framing while I wandered around outside. Sounds like Jay will have the window seat I always wanted. It will overlook the courtyard garden.
