Now you CAN tread on me…
There was a knock at the door last night sometime around 7:30 pm. At the door was René and on the ground in front of the future stairs was a pile of six large pieces of bluestone. Today, at about 8:00 am, some of René’s guys were here starting to work again.
While we’d hoped to have the stairs completed by Christmasâ€â€the better to allow guest to enter the house withâ€â€we just couldn’t get our paws on any bluestone. almost every place we called said that they either had too few pieces or that they had none and wouldn’t be getting any more until Spring. Yesterday René, who was in going to Long Island, called to say that he’d found a place with 16 pieces of what we needed. I put in a call, placed the order and René delivered the goods.
Hopefully the escaleras will be in place by New Year’s Day.
