OK, Gugals (guys'n gals), this is the next to the last day.

WEDNESDAY: I actually spent the whole day at work for a change. So, I missed much of the work of day 6. On the way home at 4:50 I heard on the car radio that the contractor had just moments earlier turned the keys over to Ty (?), indicating that the house is completed! Fini! DONE! The building, construction, landscaping, is complete!

When I got there they had two furniture store moving vans there, full of the family's personal property. Apparently they will finish moving the personal property in overnight and then doubtless do some cleaning. Amazing! So the party's over . . . the excitement past . . . the chaos, cars (tonight) parked all around my corner lot nearly past.

I managed to get there at dusk, so caught some sunlight. Here's a pic of the house. It wouldn't be my choice of colors; kind of a butterscotch.

I hope you enjoyed my sharing the experience with me. I'll be providing just a few final updates over the next couple of days.

Warmly,
Linda
