It has been a while since we posted last. We took the week of Thanksgiving off and tried to get in work on the house before hosting the main meal. We got some of the foundation repair wrapped up to deal with a poorly detailed cold joint that was leaking last winter. We got the pocket door headers raised to accommodate the needed hardware that our contractor had not accounted for. Thanksgiving was a great day with 6 guests. The meal worked out well and was on the table around lunch time. Fun was had. Puzzles were solved. Lots of food was eaten. After Thanksgiving day we leveled, glued down, and screwed down the stairs landing that the contractor had left out of level and with only a few nails holding things do down. Today I installed some of the hardware for the pantry pocket door and fixed the rough opening for the pocket door to the master closet. It had been wonderful to be able to heat the house with the fireplace. One bit at a time.
