Construction Site: Another Brick in the Wall Part 1

Joe the bricklayer is here this week, putting up the footings. We can now stand in what will be the new family room and master bedroom, and imagine the walls going up around us. I feel a bit like a goldfish in a bowl. We arise somewhere between 6.45 and 7am, open the curtains, and there are the builders, already hard at work and (we imagine) looking in at us. I'm sure they do this all the time, and don't even notice the humans dwelling inside the houses they are working on. But I still feel as if they are looking at me. Did I already mention that builders make me very uncomfortable? I should probably get help.
