September 3rd

There were some title problems (on the seller's part) that have delayed our closing to tomorrow morning, September 5th at 10:30. Regardless of the fact that we have not yet closed, we have continued to work. John leaves on Sunday for LA (he's actually staying in Beverly Hills......ooh lala!) and we just couldn't keep holding off. We aren't paying the $250 a day to be in there - not sure if that's because the seller's realize it's their fault that closing has been delayed or if the agents are just turning their heads to the fact that we're in there or what. We let them know what we were doing and we've never heard anything in response. Things are moving fast so I'll be posting lots of pictures....

This is John and his brother Matt measuring to figure out
where the holes needed to be cut for the recessed lighting.
Check out Matt's stilts! John wore them later and almost smushed me
when he took them off because he used me to steady himself jumping out of them!
All of the white specs in the pictures is because of all the stuff in the air from demolition.

Here's a hole that John cut and quickly realized there was a stud there. Oops! I guess "tapar" means "fix what the stupid white boy did" in spanish! hehehe! Just kidding....

John and Jake loading the ditch witch that we rented for four hours
from Home Depot. And you know we kept it every second we could
and then had to race it back up there to avoid extra charges!

John was proud of his little home depot flags marking where sprinkler lines would go.

Pretty ditches all dug.
