The opening was a success, with the interior complete (minus a few minor details like kitchen, bath, and plumbing) and the electricity on, we were able to give people a good sense of the house. We really appreciate all the help from the thesis teams (Lions Park Phases II and III and Akron Boys and Girls Club), former Rural Studio students, Christopher (our Irish visitor), John, Bill, Andrew, David, and others whom I’ve surely forgotten. It was great fun to have a gathering to celebrate the near completion of our house.

It was also a pleasure to have Sunday off before returning to work on the house this Monday. This week, we have varnished the floor in the small unit (and are half done with the big unit), assembled the core pieces in order to locate the plumbing, begun the plumbing and screened the porch. We still need to complete the plumbing, build the barn doors, and assemble and varnish the cores once the plumbing is complete. One week to go and much to do!
