In the two or three minutes I have before I have to get back to work, I can update re. the status of the building. A lot of shuffling around has been going, as we have about 2.5 houseguests, bringing the head count up to 9 or 10 depending. Me, Husband, 3 daughters, Houseguest #1, her two or three hangers-on (she's 20, cute, and social, so naturally there are a lot of 20 year old boys around), Guest #2 and her 3 year old daughter in the newly renamed Guest Suite (formerly an office and art studio). Fortunately we have a lot of toilets. One bathtub (no shower), but 4 or 5 toilets. Relocating the art studio is a good thing; just like when I brought my office to the loft, having the easels and supplies up there as well means I'll be a lot more likely to dive into a painting project than when I had to either hide out downstairs to get anything done, or invite my kids in with me and deal with tripping all over each other while trying to think about a painting. Now I can get up early and work while they sleep without all the logistical issues young children present.
So our use of the building is being refined, even as our renovation of it is in stall mode. We may still do the wall insulation this summer (I hope) but it will be more expensive than we first thought (commodity prices are rising). So, who knows. At least I don't have to run the heat any more. We're sure enjoying entertaining though! Some friends who run a local arts nonprofit are coming over for dinner tonight. Burritos and wine. MMMMM!
