David and I woke up in Harlem on the last day of this year’s six night visit to Manhattan. We gained three hours on our flight back home and, after picking Opal up at her sister’s house, still managed to get home to Georgetown in time to see in the day’s fading light that work happened. Excavation has begun. From walking out of Mary and Melinda’s party on November 7th of 2015, when I said to David while he was driving us home, “That’s it, I want to build a house for us,” to today, that’s how long it took. From inception to actual ground breaking, one year, ten months, and eighteen days. Just shy of two full years. Wow. And whew.
Great post, Michael. Love the pics.
