Cold again today, below freezing to start but clear again. It didn't warm up much at all but the crew is back to stay for awhile. Downstairs is pretty complete. They ran out of floor joists but more arrived at the end of the day. Tomorrow will see all of the upstars floored and more. Mike and I (Mike works with me at TBI) took a walk to the back boundary of our property. It's really neat. I wish I grew up near such a cool stream... I met our next door neighbor today, Sue. She assigns enhanced 911 addresses. She didn't give me what I really wanted 'cause that's not the way it's done... At any rate our new address will be 8096 Tranquil Drive, Gloucester, Virginia 23061!
