New Scenery
The lumber arrived!! Came this morning. That's all that happened today, but it's okay. It is nice to come home and see something different everyday. Tomorrow's Friday and we'll see what gets done. Usually, Friday is a half day of work.Boxer jumped up on the lumber right away. I watched him carefully to make sure …
Hard At Work
Stopped by the house at lunch. Could tell lots of work being done as evidenced by the picture of what used to be a tree stump. Couldn't discern any other changes. In my mind I hear Mr. Contractor say, "Find something to keep you busy".
Activity Forecast to Pick Up
The Porto-Potti has arrived! I checked for a dead body and all was clear - it smells real nice right now. Doug advised us that soon there will be multiple crews here and lots of vehicles parked in the street. So, we're alerting our neighbors. It's so nice to be able to walk out the …
The Ghost of Vito Lives On
The piers are built - next to fill with cement - all is moving along nicely.You may notice that in the picture above the nearest pier appears out of alignment. It is. We asked Adam why it was that way. He indicated that when they were digging the first hole they ran into a drum …
Cement Poured!
As you can see the cement was poured today - this morning actually. I asked Adam, one of the workers, what the white stick thing was for. He said the top of represented the pour line - the bottles were placed on it to protect our doggies if they happened to fall in a hole. …

Not sure what the plastic bottles are signifying - they're placed over a white stick-like thing. I'm clueless.Blocks arrived, too. Let's get going, Mr. Contractor. They built a brand new house over there on …
Gas Meter Moved and Rebar in Place
GRU moved our gas meter and installed a new line - all in less than a day. Cool!The rebar has been placed in the holes. Mr. Contractor is hoping to pour cement later this week. Our fingers are crossed.We're dealing a lot with doggie issues which we think are mostly caused by the stress of …
Remember When?
We needed to remember when the back yard was green and lovely. When the grass was lush and thick and inviting. Our backyard will once again be that oasis. But we must be patient.GRU is moving the gas meter tomorrow morning. We're hoping the footers will be poured this week. The notice of commencement has …
Another Day in the Remodel
Rebar is being prepared which makes me think that the pouring of the concrete footers is not too far away. More holes have been dug. Boxer has enjoyed running around the holes and playing "king of the mountain". Can you find Peanut in the picture below? Some siding has been removed and new boards have …
