Day #75

dashiell was asleep in the car after the ucla bb game today.

Day #74

So I stopped by the house yesterday before noon (I had to leave school to get my cell phone from home--that's a whole other story) and the older model honda accord was in the driveway this time. I could see two guys by the car in the driveway, so I thought I'd get out and ask what they were working on. Yesterday, I actually stopped by as well, and saw that same car and the gate was a little bit ajar, but I couldn't tell anything was going on, so I just left. After telling Derek about it later, he call 7 Construction and Dafneh mentioned something about waiting for the roof-truss people. So we guesses that they were waiting for the roof.
This time, I figured I'd try and ask. He said that he was the electrician and he had been working for the last 2 days (which I believed, from what I had seen--or rather, not seen). So I guess that explains it.
Derek's only question was why he wouldn't wait for the roof to be done first. I have no idea. He was in the garage when I saw him, though. Maybe later today (Saturday) we'll stop by and check out and see what kinds of electrical stuff has been put in.

Day #72

Derek met me at the house yesterday afternoon so he could go look at the closets upstairs in the family room. I didn't notice any major changes, so I just took a few.This is the view of the rubbish in the front yard from the family room upstairs.
This is the view from one of the boys' rooms. Across the way is the titanium-clad public library.

Day #70

not sure if they worked on the house today...i was there about 2pm and noone was there at all. very quiet; and it didn't look like they had just left to go eat or get something...

Day #70: Stairs

a little after 2pm, a guy was cutting out the stairs:a little after 5pm, the stair were there. well, mostly.

Day #68

Stopped by yesterday, but didn't seem to have noticed any change, so I didn't take any pictures. It was supposed to rain yesterday, but it didn't start until way later in the evening. Today, after stopping off in the Towne Center, we stopped by just to check really quickly. They were were there! There was actually a pick-up truck with 2 guys in it who told me that they were on their way to the store to get a drill, and then would be back. Cool!
This is my guess: They didn't work yesterday because they thought the rain would hit, but it didn't until later, so a day was wasted. Therefore they had to show up today in case it didn't rain. Who knows?! But they were there!
It looked like they were going to start working on the stairs. Woo-hoo!
We'll probably stop by tomorrow sometime (if it's not raining) to survey what they did today.

Day #66

we got to the house a bit late (almost 5pm) so it was getting dark already.the stairs weren't built yet, but there was a 'ladder' that i used to climb up. so now we've got some shots of the upstairs.
