Back to the House








We've been at the house several times since being in Austin- 3 or 4 times now, I think. Metal work is done- sprial stair and this awesome steel trellis. The trellis is made out of 1 x 1 and 4 x 4 steel tubes. You could practically park a car on it. All of the metal will be painted. When we went out yesterday, we saw light fixtures, ceiling fans, and a toilet! woohoo!

What we didn't expect to see were the 2 guys chiseling out some of the cinder block at the garage. There are several discolored and stained blocks that they've been trying to fix for several weeks. I think a few were even cracked. I didn't think it would come to this, but I guess the only option left is to remove the bad blocks and replace w/ new. I hope what comes back doesn't look worse than it did before. If you care to see how it looked before the block destruction, go back to an older post titled "We're Getting Closer!".

Still no completion date other than, "Sometime in June...". So until then, we're livin it up at the pool at Mesa Verde.

Pretty big ladder in that frist picture do you need a license to work off that thing? LOOKS good hope they will get-R-done as soon as possilbe. Stuff is getting close if they are putting fixture in.
