Farewell Summer!

What a beautiful day at the beach!  At this point we have been in construction for 6 months with a scheduled completion date at the end of January. That's  just four months away! We're in the home stretch!

Today we met with Jim to discuss the project, schedule, budget, and the 'details'.

the giant dehumidifier

The house is starting to dry out after the gypcrete pour. Jim has a big fan and a huge dehumidifier, extracting about 5 gallons of water each day!

It was so wonderful to see all our doors in place, although they are swaddled in their wraps, they really pull the frame together!

I spent a little time on the last day of summer with our neighbor and friend, Gigi Bryant, and her mom who is visiting from Arizona. The temperature was delightful as we sat on the bulkhead enjoying the day and catching up.










Our little SeaNymph has been out in the bay all summer, fairly neglected.  As we pulled it to shore to put it in drydock, we noticed a gull happily camped out on the seat. Could it be Cedric? As the boat got closer, the gull arose leaving a throne of  $*x#^! - and a dead flounder!  And  my prophesy at the end of the Sept 8th post, http://camanohouse.blogspot.com/2010/09/one-giant-leap-for-lemkin-kind.html  was exactly what we saw today.
