End of August Progress

Under the charming notion that the cottage could be assembled in a couple of weeks by amateurs, we assumed it would certainly not take much longer when professionals were doing the work. Alas, that does not seem to be the case. Yes, we saw progress in the framing of the cottage being erected swiftly. But they kept encountering problems, mostly due to the long time the parts were exposed to the weather (because they were going to come and assemble them in a week, as opposed to the four months it took them to actually get started.

These photos were taken today. This is how the place looked in the morning, which is the work that's been completed so far.

By late afternoon, we'd seen this much progress.

Anyway, we were treated to our usual spectacular August sunset before the last night of the month fell.
