Karla reporting (you probably can tell the format as changed..hope you don't mind Paulie!). Boy I feel lazy, Paul is doing all the work while I'm away. My retreat house as NO air, so I'm logging on, before I start new work. 
Great job Paul! I'm not sure if he told you, but we plan on reusing the old floor boards somehow...as a wall feature or maybe a table? Well, it's hotter than blazes in Minnesota, but their lawns are by far in better shape than Wisconsin. 
We are pretty excited with this new adventure and plan to have one heck of a party once it's all said and done (don't make any fast plans - it'll be a year from now). Well, keep up the great work Paul! Drink lots of water! I've included a great picture of a historic Finnish village that has been restored in New York Mills...as I look toward the past and present of European design, I really like their aesthetic: simple, clean lined, and purposeful. I can't believe this is a reality.
