This is starting to sound like a suspense thriller. Really looking forward to the next episode.

I really love the little guy with his detonator box blowing up the “budget”

I’ll never forget when we bought our horse property in Colorado…..we brought in builder and designer and they gave us a price of $250K to redo the house. We too use a steel beam to bump out the house. The final bill for us was in excess of $600K. Yes, it’s only money.

I like the fact you are moving the pillar and if you get a poured concrete ceiling that steel beam will help.

How exciting for both of you. This is an exciting time for you….embrace it.

As I have said before, you and Mike are a lot alike in so many ways. I constantly gave to reign him in with emails to the Portuguese people. Relax, wait and breathe... It sound like you and Denise are getting a firm footing on all that needs to be done. I love the guy punching holes in the wall. Also, are are the women here named Ana?

Great minds! And no, not all named Ana…just the first one recommended by the builder.
