August 6th Photo Update

A view of the plastering in the southwest room. What might appear to be the floor is actually a raised platform, built to allow workers to reach the ceiling. Also note the webcam on the far left.

We wanted to liven up the blog with a batch of photos from the Coffeehouse. Current work includes plastering in the southwest room, installation of lathing in the north room, construction of the northwest stairway, and work on the second floor.
