The framing has begun, o so quietly. There has been a 24 hour break between rainy days today, and so TOM SOUTHERN, our builder who has allowed us to finally name him, has been up at the site most of the day building.
I guess TOM SOUTHERN has decided this radical old fashioned plan just might work!
On the plus side, I managed to get my pansies in between showers.
I can see that until the floor, with all of it's intricacies of structure, was completed successfully, TOM SOUTHERN (what a nice name for a builder) would have been reluctant to have his name attached to the project. But good on him for even tackling it to begin with.

yes, we asked him if he'd ever constructed a radiant floor before and he said no, and then Pat asked if he'd ever built a house before and he replied, "I built mine" which wasn't a real answer, but he really is doing a fabulous job. I told one of his workers, who I think is also his minister, that he spends most of the pre-work lowering our expectations, and then he exceeds them. Very subtle and sweet. Anna was the one who found him. And he has read all the books we've given him and he really wants to stay with the "vision." At one point, he said, "The architect wanted this..." which we loved.
