Timeline

I made a quick timeline so I can remember what we did when so that I can write more about it when I get a chance. This gives a bit of a sense of how much work we've been doing.  I apologize for the tense changes.

Work on the house will now be a weekly activity (mostly on weekend), rather than a daily one. But 20 days in, the house is livable, I've recovered from the work and am glad we got so much done. And I will definitely do some longer posts on a couple of these, because they make for interesting stories and/or I have pictures.
