I know I have neglected the blog, but the visuals are not as impressive. Arkitektura is finishing off the final details, like insulation and flood vents. The end is near.  I think the Elevation phase will wrap up in a couple of weeks.  Next will be the brick skirt and front stairway.  Since the Brick Company hasn’t made our brick in several years, we had to place a minimum order of 50,000 bricks.  I know that sounds like a lot, but our Guru, Fred Carter estimates we need at least 45,000 anyway. And Jo Ann plans to brick everything that doesn’t move.
