For a split second this morning, we thought we might have a reprieve from construction. Fine thinking when we're only two days into a six week project. I know. But work wasn't on the schedule, and no one had shown up by 8 a.m., and the guys are pretty punctual so one can hope.

And, then they arrived and spent the day framing--the new linen closet, the shower niche, and the recessed medicine cabinet. The carpenters also wrapped all our belongings in the studio--bookcases, furniture, boxes--to protect it from construction dust in the upcoming week. Everything is shrouded as if in a cocoon. And, I'm grateful because in the cruel light of day, I can see that every horizontal surface in the kitchen and dining loft has an inevitable, but fine, layer of dust on it.
At the end of the day, Larry left us a note to say that we have quite a bit of copper pipe, which is good. There had been some concern about lead pipe, which would need to be replaced to meet current building code. I'm not exactly sure how, but copper means a different kind of routing and additional cost. Yay!

| August looking cute but small |
August survived his first week of construction. He hated being confined to the den, and I can only imagine him going ape-shit when I leave the house. The cats are a little freaked out too. But, here's hoping they'll have a better week.
