Roof roof ruff ruff

Closing in. Carlos the heating and air conditioning guy came today to bid on the HVAC. Need to start from scratch, and it seems like I will be losing a closet to house the furnace. I'm more bummed at having to clean out the closet than losing the storage space. Ironically, this is the same closet that I put the entire contents of the former kitchen into. Now I've got to move and store all the kitchen stuff somewhere else. Again. I have no idea where. I've run out of areas of the house that are not being touched by the renovation. More destruction to come when they put in heat and air. Sux elephants.


New framing overhead. It's still very hard to guage the scale of the new first floor. Even in person, it's hard to judge just how big or small everything is.


But soon the roof deck will be enclosed, and I will once again have a balcony to look down upon my loyal subjects.


Dirt pile growing smaller. So far my back hasn't bothered me from hauling all this dirt to other areas of the yard. Which is very surprising considering my slumpy posture when I'm sitting behind my desk at the office.


Old water heater has gone to water heater heaven. It's had a long and productive life, much appreciated service to humanity. I send it good wishes when it gets reincarnated as gas guzzling American SUV.


This is the dog equivalent of the famous GQ pose.


Rubber ball much more fun with all four paws pointed skyward.


I've killed the ball. I've killed the hedgehog. My work here is done.


This is a combination of a yawn and a sneeze. I miss Preston.
