We had such a great few days in Eden Mills. It was so nice to walk around the house without shoes and not feel grit underneath like we do here.
It was nice to visit with some friends and be treated to dinner, nice to see Evan too.
Got some packing done as the conditional is almost up. We'll have to decide if we will give them an extension but I know we will.
When we got back the guys had most of the front of the garage finished. The roof is on and shingled and the walls are framed. It changes the look completely since we don't have this massive hole in the front of the house now.
There is a lot of garbage again so Rick will be dropping off another bin tomorrow. We have spent a fair bit of money on having him pick up these bins to clear the drive whenever a truck is coming to deliver something or the concrete shows up. I hope this one won't have to be moved for a while.
Got a call from Lowes today to apologize for our treatment when we bought the doors. I don't know if I already mentioned this but Brian and I had gone out and bought 6 doors from Lowes. When he was writing up the bill the cost of the doors was higher than on the wall even the ones in stock. The others he said they don't keep in stock so have to order them anyway but they would cost us more as well. Brian was not happy so he begrudgingly marked them to the posted price. He said he would put four of the doors that were there aside for us and we could pick them up at anytime. When we went back to pick them up he had sold them to someone else and only had one in stock. Wow, we had already bought those doors. Anyway I wrote and email to Lowes, who would now like us to explain the chain of events so they can make us happy.
Really I have time for this?
Ah well we make progress and I should be happy with that no matter how much I would like to speed it all up. Brian is a perfectionist and we always get the best results because of it.

| This will look so nice when finally done. |

| The waste does not look so bad from this side. See all the stucco gone? |
 |
| There is a brick pathway under that dirt. |

| We put that foam over the door for now to keep the wind out. |
