Framing Begins 7/26/2010
Well--frame I material dropped Monday morning so framers could get started. Janis showed up around 9:00am I think to meet with Brian Thomas--their stain concrete guy (I had worked with him many years ago at an ultra contemporary house off Thurman bend--I had suspected I knew him)...we figured out what scoring would be done at the entry, and Janis and I left on a journey all day! We went from Del Valle to Spicewood and everywhere in between in search of distressed beams for the interior--we found lots of stuff not worth hauling home and stuff worth hauling but pretty pricey. One of the first places was a demolition company in Del Valle--we did find some utility sinks that could work in Janis's studio--we believe they were from the Texas Stadium that this company had imploded and demolished.
