Jason the Mason built a foundation….

The problem is that our foundation was built a long time before we bought our house.  So, I won’t be able to use the line in correct context.  Instead, we will talk about “Roof Views” – an also strong topic, but of course, not original.

The attic room – wall to street:

They also finished the electrical work downstairs and a lot of the plumbing work.  For example:

Kitchen-

Guest bathroom-

They also plastered the old door between the guest room and play room.

Hopefully we’ll have ceiling views after pouring soon.

Have a good Thursday!
