This is the Xanderblue glass that is going to be the back splash to the stove wall. That is the hood to the right of picture. The guys were laying it out on great room floor and numbering glass so they knew which piece went where.
This is a door they finished to the electrical room which is at the bottom of the great room stair
The guys built this semi circle form work in the opening between the fungeon and wine room for us so we could trim the arch is brick to even out the uneveness left from the cut.
Here is the pile of bricks we will use.
they finished off the back door with the wood planks!
They also finished off the back of the front door finally with the wood planks, no more blue spray foam and people asking if it was going to stay that way.
Miscellaneous castle decor jus cool.t lying around and very
They took out all of the temporary lighting that had been there since we purchased the castle over 4 1/2 yrs. ago.
Lots of trips to the hardware store and Tosh was always up for a ride, let's go!
Brian and Marc deserve a huge round of applause for this. Andy has been trying to get Time Warner to get us internet, but every time they came out they couldn't do. We finally got OK to dig trench our self from main road to castle and now that the cable is right there, they will hook it up. Brian and Marc said it was a B*!tc&, and we should all thank them for use of our cellular devices now at the castle. All hail Brian and Marc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Rex was master mixer of the mortar, he makes a mean batch with the perfect consistency.
I carried 15 2x2's in one arm in one carry from truck to site. used these to keep bricks tight against the arch form. That's a pretty lame muscle shot! ugh

the beginning of the brick laying on right side.
and the left side.
Andy's Dad got to the castle mid day on saturday with his older brother from Nebraska and his oldest son Christopher. This is Mike jumping in and stealing my job. Yes, he has a very white beard and mustache and says it is for his Gandolph halloween costume.
This is some of the glass windows we did with my mom, dad, sister and the Johnson's in March. They are going along the balcony in front of the big window so we can still get alot of light into great room

It was a beautiful, crisp, clear Adirondack night Saturday Night, so we star gazed on the roof! Andy said the flash was too bright for his sensitive eyes.
This was not the weekend, but today Brian and Marc got the Awesomely heavy lions into the great hall. Our Care taker Thomas got a for lift and they hauled them to back of castle and lifted them into the great room where they will be the bases of the fire place. Very exciting, because I helped moved them from Saratoga to Castle and they are heavy. Kudo' s and more kudo's to Brian and Marc.
this is so exciting!
