WUURK!

The cry around the house as each new job is begun is "wuuurk". Our own Buck with 2 of his crew, Mike G and Fred, are back to join Bill (from last post) and Mike to blitz the house once again. It's a mighty lively place! And to top it all off, the water board decided to fill some small holes in the neighborhood sidewalks yesterday. Before 8 AM they were here with a front loader, big flatbed truck, dump truck, a couple of pick-ups and a crew of 7 with several bosses coming and going. That was BEFORE the concrete truck came. I couldn't help but contrast the 7 guys working on our 1 foot square sidewalk hole with the 5 inside the house doing a dozen different jobs at breakneck pace.

We have upstairs closets framed in and the big bear - the upstairs bathroom - was finally conquered. Due to all sorts of space issues, the engineering of that room is a small miracle. And the beauty of it is that it will all seem so effortlessly planned and have everything I wanted, only better. Kitchens are both being worked on - electrical and plumbing work nearly finished - and an extra shower being added has added to many headaches but is on its way now. Mike began his work day at 6:15, working on ducting since we now have both air conditioners working. I have no kitchen sink any more, and the coffee pot is in the bedroom (I wanna be like Vicki!!) but wow, is it worth it!

Just a few shots.

Mike began his day at 6:15 while others slept. He quit last night at 11:00. It's HIS house!

It's hard to tell, but the washer area, under the skylight, is sunken, as is the tub. Kewl!
