Marie and I spent this past weekend in Montreal visiting Amy and the kids who went out with us for a special birthday breakfast downtown - I was laden with gifts and lots of love and I want to thank you all for a wonderful day!! Then back to the property to prepare for the arrival of the roofers and windows and doors. I am writing this outside on the terrace of the Pizzeria Lac Megantic who have free wifi - a nice change from McDonald's where I usually go to update the blog when we are not in Montreal. The house is up, all 25 windows and 5 doors in, the shingles almost all on and once the scaffolding comes down the hard part will begin for us - preparing and finishing the interior! But for now its a day off as we spend Saturday with Mario, Adam and Zoe visiting from Massachusetts. We want to thank again the great crew who did such a professional job of building the house for us - Fred, Guillaume I, Charley and Guillaume II. The pictures tell it all!.......Next week - laying out the radiant floors! gws
