congratulations!
Sincerest congratuations. My utmost respect and admiration for ya'll making this the wedding you wanted instead of a prepackaged generic same as 100 million other weddings.
Hair you looked beautiful, Ecurbh, congratulations!
Bear; thanks very much, will be looking forward to it.
Kewl. (firewalls are a 'series' pain at times, especially times like this)
SuziQ; wow, that is a real remodeling project, glad to see you have that many assistants. Good Luck with Building Officials on your plans. The codes department can be frustrating at times.
Good Morning; hoping you had a great sunrise, out there on the shores of the western seas.
Gypsy has been walked, all seems quiet in the northwest section of the shire. Picked up a paper and we're heading out to the 'platform' (aka the deck) with our coffee.

Good morning! Beautiful day here, which is good, cuz after church we're grilling some lovely steaks for Father's Day. Don't think I'll be around much today.
We stayed up too late watching Buckaroo Bonzai and missed the sunrise. I gave Gidget her "Good Morning" pet and just put on the coffee.

SSQ is the type who will build BEYOND the code, so I don't foresee any problems. We are doing to do some 'different' things like using frost protected shallow footings rather than the 4' deep and below the frost line type, and we're using Insulated concrete forms instead of the typical foundation wall set up, but we have all the data for what we want to do.
It's taking as long as it has because we want to get all our duckies in a row before we take it to the Building Dept., and we need to get some engineering assistance to make sure that what we've decided on depths of joists etc, work for the the way we want the rooms to be. The addition will be essentially a 24'wide by 30' deep box with no center supports all the way to the basement, so we have to figure the sizes of floor joists to hold up the walls since we'll have a center ridge beam pushing down on them! The interior walls on the second floor and the outer walls on both floors will be what's holding up the roof!
Our town is not TOO bad in that as long as you can give them some proof that what you want to do is kosher, they tend to approve pretty quickly.
Gandalf sent the eagle to whisk the newlyweds away!
*snif* are they having a good time?
As always. :)
Another sunny morning in the neighborhood...couldn't beat the sunset last night.
We're watching the wedding video. The plane just arrived.
Tell Ramius his place just sparkled yesterday. Can't even imagine a more glorious setting.
Yep, you couldn't ask for a better day.
Gidget has been reuinted with Hair and ecurbh. We're playing the video again so they'll know what happened. :)

I don't think my wedding-dinner would have remained with me!
Beautiful area for a wedding.
Well we were kind of wondering if they were going to clear the bridge.
OT
And of course when they came off the water they just kept going straight at the bridge. Ramius said "Yeah, fly under the bridge!"
Didn't look like they cleared it by all that much.
