I woke up extremely early Monday, yesterday, to take the train to Jonathan's house so that we could pick up Shane and drive upstate a ways to visit the house I worked on last fall. It was such a beautiful drive up, about an hour and a half north of the city. Things turned green and idyllic really quickly once we left the city. Parkways are my new favorite road system; no commercial vehicles, just cars!
The site of the house was beautiful, forested and green. We got out of the car and it was so fantastically cool, it couldn't have been 60 degrees! It was great to jump back into work with a field trip, and it was edifying to see all the things I'd been drawing last fall starting to emerge from the ground. The project was not as far along as I'd thought; delays with the permitting had pushed back the start date. They told us the foundation walls will be poured Wednesday. It sounds like I might get a chance to go see the progress a few more times too! Shane is leaving this week, so I am going to be taking over his role on the house, which at this point is basically to just troubleshoot any questions the GC sends us. (Thats some architecture/building industry jargon right there, GC=General Contractor. Clever, eh?)
This is going to have to be a post in two parts, as it is now time for my second day of work. More to come later, my followers few!
