More and more I'm leaning toward selling Galusha when it's finished. It's not just because the prospective buyer disappeared as quick as she surfaced once she learned my terms. It's because if I sell now, I end up working for that person. I'm already working for one man more than I want to. Besides, all the work I do on Galusha makes Mabel that much easier.
The final forms came off Mabel, and her Great Wall is impressive. The concrete guy made a point about it being 26 feet and _one_ inch -- not a centimeter more! Right now, the place looks surreal. You can stand inside the "house," sure, but there's all these shards of wall sticking up; it feels a bit like Stonehenge.
I'm getting so used to noise and pace of construction that I don't stir anymore when the trucks rumble by the dining room window at 7 a.m. Or when the crew fills its coffeemaker from the outside water spigot. I guess they're getting used to life in Beaumont, too.
I'm getting closer to picking the landscape architect. The front-runner has an impressive portfolio, covering most the bases, from modern lines to native plants. In my talks with landscape people, I've come to realize the driveway, its material and shape, is the most significant element. In sheer square footage, it's the biggest thing out there, and it has the potential to set the tone for the whole scene.
