This is how the house looked this morning, November 13th, as we left for a week in the Olympia condo. We put Lucy and Abbey in the boarding kennel and we packed some clothes and moved south for a few days. Travis and Rob are tarping the garage roof as they get ready to tear it off and connect it to the new garage, while another contractor is inside installing a new furnace and air-conditioner. Tomorrow the hardwood refinishers come in and get to work on the kitchen, tv room and dining room. So in short, the house is not habitable for a few days and we are lucky we have our little Olympia place to get away to.

When we get back we should see some remarkable progress and we'll upload pictures then.
