(Because three, or maybe four, of you actually care about the remodeling projects...)
Poked my nose in at the Pigeon Loft again today. No actual progress, but I _did_ find some new lumber stacked. Then stopped at the contractor's office, found him in (will wonders never cease?) and waited out the phone call that had him otherwise employed. Yes, work will start Monday. Yes, they have the unit mix sorted out.* Yes, this all means that the building won't collapse when the first snow drifts down gently on the roof. He admitted that he, also, would not have slept well if the project went into the winter without at least temporary shoring in place...
*Turns out that a partner of Client had pissed off Code Enforcement on a separate issue. What goes around, comes around. You'd think a lawyer would know better.
Small town politics, gotta love it.

I love the remodeling posts, so I must be one of the three or four
