So before we get to the other photos, here's the current set of link requests: First, our YouCaring page, via the widgets on it, please, and using the widget code from box in the lower right-hand corner. that will get you this:
Second, Wings's Web site, because sales are our living, and they're going toward both day-to-day expenses and the construction.
And finally, a dear friend's diary at the GOS from earlier today on our behalf. There are a group of warrior women who are my spirit sisters, and they have our backs, and I could not be more grateful for it. But one of the major points of the diary is visibility through social-media shares, which requires that the diary itself get . . . yes, social-media shares of its own. So please go and T&R it, and hit the Facebook and Twitter widgets on it, and share it via e-mail and with all your other networks, along with the links to our YouCaring page and Wings's site.
Now, what else happened today:

I should point out that it was our crew who noticed the problem and brought it to us. I've known plenty of pros who would've ignored it, followed the blueprints, and then when the issues became apparent, shrugged their shoulders and said, "Hey, this was what your blueprints called for. I assumed that's what you wanted."
Our guys are practical.
So the crew chief brought it to us this morning, explained the issue, showed us about three different options for altering them, and then literally redrew them on the fly and on the slab.
And we have more useable room, and we're good:
And I still get to keep my windows as they were. For those who don't know, I've always had this weird issue with my eyes (apparently runs in the family) where I have vision difficulties with a lot of artificial light. I need A LOT of natural light, not merely for my mood, but for my ability to see in a very basic way. My eyes are healthy, if astigmatic and myopic, but this is an issue I can't make go away, and I need lots of windows. Which has been bad in this place, but will be great in the house, and will also be great for passive solar.

And before the weather hit in early afternoon, the guys were back at the bricks. We have what are recognizeable walls now, if incomplete ones, and they'll be ready for the upper story very, very soon.
That's happened only because of the support we've gotten from friends for this project. We are both profoundly grateful. And now that the weekend is here, I'm hoping to get a few hours over the next couple of days to focus on more concrete expressions of thanks.
