done shingling

Today we finished the last section of exterior wall that needed shingles. We installed the rear door trim, then put up the last few shingles. We also removed the cracked window and replaced it with the new one. Tony came over and installed some of the interior front door stops.

Now it is time to start on the walls, and on the next oven layers.

happy new year

A great way to end 2007 and begin 2008. Today we reinstalled the front doors (with the glass in them), and installed the two opening windows (top front). With the oven going sans insulation, the bakery warmed up very quickly once it was enclosed.

We hosted a few friends at the bakery for New Year's Eve, and baked a few flat breads and one little loaf. They turned out quite nice, and I think everyone had fun. Getting to this point has been fun, difficult, educational, exhausting, and exhilarating. Hopefully 2008 brings more of the same minus the stress, difficulty, and exhaustion.
