The old kitchen window frame was rotten and falling into the room on a regular basis, so new wood frame was put in! Also, click on picture above to see house minus Lincoln Logs!

The electrician wuz here!
The electrician started working today at the house! Also the plumber! I'm happy with that. If all goes according to plan (knock wood), the I-beams will be removed Thursday and the concrete gets poured next week. Funny story: when I told someone that the 50 foot long I-beams were supporting the house, she looked incredulous and said: "You have IVY supporting the house?" Hehehe. Nope. NO ivy. Sorry.
California coastline
This is what I do when not thinking of the house construction. I went on a drive on Hwy. 1 in California. Very twisty. Frequent turn-outs and parking spots! Good for taking pictures. Not good for those w/car sickness or vertigo (thankfully I have neither). Click on above picture to see more.

I love the smell of plywood in the morning...
(...rather, in the evening, since I took these pix at night time). My contractor's carpenter has been working on the walls downstairs in preparation for the slab being poured before the end of the month.

Corner concrete detail with new wood
The construction workers have been working on concrete the last couple of days - and in the rain today no less! This is a picture of a corner of poured concrete minus the wood molds. As always, click on the picture above to see more examples!

Monkey in Morocco
My boyfriend "hired" one of his neighbors, who is an artist, to make me two watercolors/pieces of art for Chanukah to decorate my new home. I gave the artist my photo album from the trip to Morocco (almost 2 years ago), and he made 2 "composite" paintings - and I love them!
