Oops! I Lied!

Here are pictures of Day 3 of the Walls. I couldn't help myself. They got so much more finished in one day. All the rooms on the lower level are framed in and most of the exterior walls are in. You can see on the back exterior wall where the windows and doors are. There will be 3 sets of atrium doors across the back.
We were on our way to Black Mountain to join in some holiday festivities. There was a Santa Clause Parade at 4:00 so we decided to skip that and visit our walls instead. After the parade the townspeople were gathering in town on Lake Tomahawk where there were supposed to be luminaries circling the lake. By the time we got there it was dark but you could barely see the luminaries. They weren't very luminous. Robert looked into one of the paper bags and it was a fake luminarie! Instead of a candle there was a little blinking lightbulb in each bag. Then we saw a long line of people and figured there must be something good but they were just waiting for hotdogs. There was a sorry-looking Santa with a few kids lined up to see him. Robert had the brilliant idea of going into town to have a glass of wine instead. We ended up at the Cellar Door (the best place in town) and had a few very good glasses of wine then went home. Maybe next year we'll catch the parade.
