Ever since we moved into this house 3 and 1/2 years ago I have been planning (and we have been saving) for a mudroom to get built in the back of our garage. It always seemed to be a huge waste of space for us, AND the entrance from the garage into the house did not make sense where it was. Last summer I spoke with the husband of one of my students who happens to own his own construction business. We agreed that when the time was right for both his crew and us, he would go about building our mudroom. Well, that time was now. The work officially started on the mudroom in late January, and now in mid-February it is well underway. We have a bit of a deadline 'imposed' on us in that we are going to have a Cocktail Reception as part of this years Winter Institute here at our house on Friday, February 27th. Nothing like having 50-75 people over (including the President of the University and some dignitaries from China) to put one into high gear. Pete and his crew have been working hard when they have been able and as soon as the walls are ready, I'll begin the paint job! Check out the pictures for the initial work that has been done...
