Porch Renovation 8

**8

The framers came back at 7:45 Saturday morning to continue installing the trusses over the sitting/spa room.  They left around Noon.

.  The studs are 2”x6” and the headers are extra strong, so I think if a tornado or hurricane hits us – after the wing is built – I’ll wait it out in the powder room with my guide dog.  Maybe I’ll stash survival supplies in the roomy closet that will also be in the powder room.  The wing is already taking on a personality of its own.

This morning, we went to watch Tyler’s swim meet.  He swam three heats and came in third, second, and one disqualify.  He was swimming in Lane 6, which was right under the official’s nose.  Apparently, Tyler made a few flutter kicks while he was doing the Butterfly (which uses a Dolphin kick) and the official saw it.  Tyler handled it well.  We met Joe, Cj, and John at the Yellow Mills Restaurant for lunch.  We celebrated John’s being on the Dean’s List.

Saturday was a busy day, as Dave and I went to Lowe’s after lunch to order all of the powder room things:  vanity and top, mirror with frame, and toilet.

It appears that the framers have finished their work and it is only Monday, November 21.  Karrah’s birthday was yesterday, but we didn’t get to mail her card until today.
