Progress

Finally, some real progress for the first time since we took out the wall between the kitchen and the living room last fall.



Young built this mockup of the island so we could figure out exactly how big to make it and where to place it. Notice the building permit tacked to the post!

Today I ordered the glulam beam that will span the room, obviating all but one post, and the hardware to attach it,



and this weekend we ordered a gas heating stove (like a woodstove, but non-polluting). It's going to be beautiful and warm!
