TWIC

That's our little acronym for "This Week In Construction". It's reminiscent of a series of emails Anthony once wrote during our Peace Corps service (this was the pre-blogging era). It was called TWIM for "This Week In Macedonia", and since we're currently celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Peace Corps, it's only fitting that I steal and adapt the acronym. Plus now I can say we've been together through TWIC and TWIM- and that's just fun.

Yes, we sometimes get to do things besides shop for fixtures.

Peace Corps 50th Anniversary Event: JFK Library, Boston

(although we did spend time there admiring the architecture and discussing what it must cost to heat the pavillion)

So anyway- to the updates.

Here's where we were last Sunday:

The happy family on our pseudo front porch, 2/27/11

This week the original plumber was fired and our resident "motion of the ocean" water movement expert decided he could use his trusty MATLAB to plot out the tubing for the radiant heat in the basement.

Tubing plan executed

This week the porch floor and trim was completed.

This week the doors were installed.

This week a lot more stuff was framed in on the inside. The top two levels are completed.

This week (actually this weekend) the siding is being put on the house.

Isn't it starting to look like a real house now?
