Paint, Permit, & Procrastination
I am a procrastinator. I do it with the best of intentions. I always seem to think there will be more time later, and this extra time will allow me to do the job better. However, I inevitably put off said job so long that I end up rushing through it in less time than I had originally and now it's late. You may have noticed the rocky start our "weekly" blog has had. I am trying to be better. Don't give up on my yet.
On a happier note...WE HAVE A PERMIT!!! It took a while, but it finally happened. The Clowns of Metro had Jason juggling and jumping through hoops left and right. (At one point I believe he was required to do something involving a unicycle, flaming baton, and the Pledge of Allegiance.) At any rate, we finally, finally have a permit and can continue work at Howard. We have almost completely demolished this house. When Gregorio's guys finishes demo, the only things left will be the original foundation and some of the floor joists. Next time we have a project like this, it may be more efficient to bring in a bulldozer.
Our Eastdale project is a little further along. Martinez and his crew just finished painting the outside. We maintained the same footprint but expanded living space into the attic by adding a shed roof to the back of the house. The soon-to-be livable second floor will be home to a spacious master suite, bonus room, and laundry closet. The interior is well on its way and should be ready for an adjusted completion date of March 15th. Hopefully we won't have to adjust the date again. I am also hopeful I won't have to adjust the title of our blog to reflect the a lack of weekly updating. Wish me luck!
