Good luck! I don't blame you at all for ditching for a month---hope the child has a blast down south! We have typically shipped our kids to the family for a month of the summer for the last several years, it's both good and traumatic. This year we don't strictly have to, and trying to figure out whether we should anyway is, hmm, tricky. <br /><br />Good luck!Tanit-Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824217102632813598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-21429712293299558272012-06-01T09:11:17.835-04:002012-06-01T09:11:17.835-04:00Yikes!

I'm sure the results will be fabtastic, but having spent a few days last year with a huge whole in my roof while skylights were being replaced, new ones installed, the roofline altered, I know you have good reason to feel stressed. Getting out of town is a very good idea. . . Consider framing some of your Amsterdam pics to hang in the new space -- after all, its coast will represent several trips there and more than a few drinks in the Dylan . . .materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-23852824623101917302012-06-01T04:18:58.336-04:002012-06-01T04:18:58.336-04:00Oh good luck with this.

We are undergoing a complete garden remodel which will take over a year, including the construction of a small garden studio (curved, grass roof, concertina glass doors, wood-burning stove- do I sound excited enough?), raised vegetable and flower-beds, and a raised walk-way. Our garden is a tiny, urban space, but the relationship between form and material is so complex that it won't be completed until next August. We've been involved in renovation projects of one kind or another for the past eight years, so I completely feel your future pain. Doc is also in the process of starting the next project- a pair of 17th century chapels complete with (never-used) crypt. He is wheedling around me by describing it as my pension plan. *covers face*Minx Marplenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-56532609971639357742012-05-31T23:05:23.431-04:002012-05-31T23:05:23.431-04:00Fingers crossed for you!Fingers crossed for you!Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-60064815634846242802012-05-31T21:57:05.104-04:002012-05-31T21:57:05.104-04:00You'll be just fine.
