Ok, I knew it had been a little while since we posted an update. However, I didn’t realize quite how long it had been until I tried to download photos from my camera and couldn’t remember how to do it. That is bad and we are sorry to have kept you waiting for so long! If you are following us on Instagram, you have already seen a few sneak peaks of the dining room progress and if you aren’t, we wish you would we think you will be excited to see how much the room has changed. Instead of writing about everything that has happened over the last couple of weeks, I will post lots of pictures and let them tell most of the story themselves.
If the built-ins poll was an athletic event, it quite possibly would have been the most boring one ever. Everyone would have left at halftime. Apparently, understated is out. Like way, way, way out. It’s so far out that only one person voted for Option #1 and can you guess who that person was? It was me. I didn’t like it more either. I just felt bad about it getting no love at all. Call it a sympathy vote if you would like. At least now Option #1 can walk away knowing that it wasn’t totally shutout and even though Option #2 hit a grand slam off of it, it isn’t a total failure as a pitcher. Sorry, that got personal.
We are deep into weekend two of brickwork over here. It turns out that the whole brick installation process is pretty time-consuming. Who would have guessed? Probably everyone. Ronan hopes to be done with the brick by the end of the day and then we will be ready for a beer to move onto the next project. That means it is time to make some more decisions!
As we mentioned in the last post, in this poll we will be asking all of you to determine what happens on both sides of the bump-out. Thanks so much to everyone who reached out through comments, messages, pins, and texts to offer suggestions. We loved them and think we have narrowed the choices down to two very good options. We have a feeling that this poll isn’t going to be as evenly divided as our last poll was, but we have certainly seen people miss the mark on pre-poll predictions in the past, haven’t we?
