The Calm Before the Storm

For 18 years, I have wanted to make some major improvements to my apartment, an 1850's structure last renovated in the 1970's. Last year I worked out the financing, engaged architects, and started the design process. This year, we finished the planning and engaged a contractor. In less than a week, Mr. Bo (17 years old) and I will become nomads, living with friends while the transformation is underway. I'll use this blog to document the process and to share the excitement and frustration of the largest single project I've ever done on my own behalf. Thanks for joining me!
