10-16-2010: Brick, day 1

The bricklayers FINALLY showed up this morning (Saturday) and got a lot of brick put up today.  They say they will be back on Monday.  At this rate, it shouldn't take them too long to finish...maybe by the end of the week.  The stone guys can start when the bricklayers finish.  After all the stone is up on the front, we can get the concrete guys back out to put in the porches, and then the framers back out to install the cedar posts.  Rick was going to set the forms and get the porches ready but has too many other projects going right now. 

The interior doors (except for the office and pantry) arrived at the end of the week.  Rick continues to work on cabinets.  We are still making major decisions about the kitchen cabinets and will go to more open houses this weekend for ideas.
