Well, the walls, that is.
Alberto and a crew of about 7 plasterers showed up first thing Wednesday morning. Now, it's just not every day that your living room is filled with a bunch of guys wearing stilts, plastering the walls, and speaking only in Italian. I felt obliged to text a few of my single friends, just to let them know ...
Alberto is a super nice guy - I really enjoyed chatting with him about Italy. Turns out he is from a town very close to Terracina, the town where my grandmother came from. He and his guys did a great job, and plastered the whole house in two days.

On Thursday, they were back and headed upstairs to do the second floor. Before they started, Byron took down the temporary door that was separating our living space from the new hall and bedrooms. I love to see it all open now - the longer hallway makes it feel so much bigger already. But we will miss living in our little "bubble." We are now all as one - old house, renovated space, new addition.
