Transformation

Week 2
What better time than the beginning of the year to start a transformation project. Mark and I have always loved the process of a renovation - even when it is messy or inconvenient. Every day after the workers have left we eagerly look for the latest  sign of progress. And then before we know it, the place, room or project is done! Of course it is never without headaches or cost and time overruns but it almost always comes with the satisfaction of something turned into something else - and better. Of something that didn't work into one that does, or of an ugly space turned lovely.

Our Harmony Barn project is no exception and probably the biggest transformation project we have ever undertaken. Unlike building from scratch,  you have to deal with inherited issues (permitting), uncertainties (what's behind the walls?) and critters (what IS behind the walls). This week the ground beneath the barn was excavated (no ancient surprises!) and then put back better and ready to support the new concrete slab and foundation. Onward!
