3 days left in July and lots to do. The boys and I have some cleaning, studying and getting ready for school stuff to do, Lori’s back at work and I have about $500K worth of orders to get in by Wednesday night. I also need to get with Tom and get the piano out of the house. Guess I’d better call a piano mover today. Throw in fasting all week or as much as I can (as we ate too much in Aspen!) and we’ve got our work cut out for us. There’s a chill in the air this morning. Hope Fall isn’t on the way already.
We stopped by the house and it’s coming along. Framing should be starting soon. We have so much to do meaning picking out things from floors to fixtures to paint, and tons of other stuff. We stopped by and saw Rollie and Dave’s new house yesterday which needs a ton of work. Dave bought it for $6.2 Million and it has 8 acres up against Buttermilk Ski Area in Aspen so that’s a huge deal. Neighboring homes are in the $20 to $30 Million dollar range. An old Italian Jewish couple owned it so has burgundy colored carpets, gold fixtures and pink walls which all have to go. It might take longer than building from scratch like we are. Great location though just a few minutes from downtown Aspen.
Next up we stopped for lunch in Basalt and then the boys played frisbee in the park while Lori and I ran into Whole Foods. When we came back the frisbee was on top of some shed in the park. Jag had to stand on my shoulders and use a long tree branch to knock it down. Luckily we managed to save our $1.99 frisbee at the expense of my shoulders, ha.
We were home by 2 or so and both boys took off to hook up with friends. Jag was with Lexi and Émile until around 10:30 and Ty went to town and then a movie until 10. The dogs come home today too. Looks like our flies are all gone, thankfully. That’s it, here’s some house pictures. Hard to see the layout from these unless you know what it is but this is the foundation. Lots of homes don’t have a basement these days but we wanted one for sure. God Bless.
