cavity cleaning

Posted on 7 May 2013 by Marisa Janusz

Well that was basically the worst task I’ve performed so far in the making of this addition.  Preparing for the insulation crew coming tomorrow by vacuuming the cavities at the exterior wall, so that they don’t trap a lot of … Continue reading →

outside the box

Posted on 7 March 2013 by Marisa Janusz

web of creation

Posted on 2 March 2013 by Marisa Janusz

Over the last several days, there has been a lot of noise in the yard, hammering and sawing.  The framing crew itself, however, is quiet.  No music, resting quietly after lunch in the shade.  I’m enjoying the sounds of progress, … Continue reading →

leaving our mark

Posted on 22 February 2013 by Marisa Janusz
