Sorry the Blog had to take a short hiatus due to the election...I could not focus on anything but what was happening in this country. For a while there I had to turn off the TV because the hype was pushing me over the edge. I ended up making a Mole as a celebration dinner, mostly because it is actually quite complicated and time consuming and I needed a distraction. It worked and it turned out great...so the evening was a success.
As for the house, the good Karma continues. Week four brought the plumbing and the completion of the retaining wall, back filled and all. During this phase the house was looking very small again and i was struggling to imagine it at its projected 2000 sq ft. There is so much dirt from the excavation that the whole lot looks tiny. It actually put me in the mind of San Diego Airport pre-renovations when there use to be a big hill that traffic went up and around to access the airport, and then one day it was gone and the road was flat. I know it is possible but it doesn't make it any stranger to see it happen.
Week 5 was another huge step...the foundation was poured and we will begin framing on Wednesday next week. they project 1.5 weeks to have it framed, inspected and windows in. So far so good and if things keep flowing it should be complete early March. Keep your fingers crossed ;-)

Just got a moment to enjoy the progress and leave love & good wishes for 'Karma Casa"! Visits to your houses have always meant instant peace and soulful clarity for me.
This new endeavour is greatly anticipated-everything you touch is magic my dear friend..as magestic as the land your heart makes home.Carolyn
