There's been lots of visible progress today. Most of the first-floor interior partitions are up! All but three of them. Stan says that the second-floor deck should be in place by Friday. That's only two days, but the guys have been looking forward to this for a while, so they're working very hard on it. I've got a web page with some pictures, and an archive of all of these messages. It's http://russnelson.com/house. -russ
