I know it has been weeks since I updated the blog, for this I am sorry. I really want to keep you all in the loop. These posts will be in an effort to catch up to what we are doing. This entry is to look at the progress of adding the second floor walls and yes there is an incredible photo of the bridge.
The Bridge is in. This is the structure that links the Master Bedroom to the library or Amanda’s room. Until we feel comfortable having Amanda at least one floor away from us, she will be in the adjoining room. I hope that maneuvering that bridge isn’t too much in my drowsy state. Up until now we have not needed a room monitor; I foresee that being a necessity when we move into the house. This first photo shows the bridge from the second floor looking down at it the incredible work done to create a safe, sturdy and of course pretty bridge (obviously there will be guard rails ~ Kenny is that crazy or maybe he is). What you see here is what will be visible from the first floor. These beams were all hand chiseled by Kenny to be interlocking and then bolted into place. The blocks of wood are incredibly beautiful and the photo cannot come close to showing the workmanship involved. I know stop bragging but I have to say I continue to be impressed by the work these guys are capable of doing.
This photo is what you will see when you walk in the front door. At the top of the photo there is the underside of the bridge. Then, as you can see, there is the view out the back French doors and the side panels of glass. It is fantastic! Again the photos do not do justice to that vision out our back door!
Now this last photo, well we just have to have photos of the princess in her castle. Amanda is sporting her new Pink coat toped off with her pink fuzzy hat and gloves and of course her pink work boots. Amanda is in what we lovingly refer to as her Cage. This allows her to play with in a safe zone within the construction area. She usually doesn’t complain all that much about her confinement and it usually is only for shorts stints of time.
