The sky is falling

Well, just as I thought. That hole in the ceiling WAS growing.


I walked into the house last night. Phoow. Where'd the ceiling go? There are only so many suprises one can take in a day.


Building out the wall to hide the new drains for the upstairs bathroom. I'm losing approximately 8 inches of kitchen because of this drain pipe. I'm not happy about that. Kitchen should be growing, not shrinking.


Forms for the staircase landings. Don't get too attached to these. I'm making them rip it out to extend the pad another 14 inches. All so the edge of it will line up with the edge of the patio. We're going to hide the air conditioning condensor underneath the staircase. Such ugliness requires creative positioning. This staircase confuses Preston, because he's still looking for the old one behind the new one. Silly dog.


And this is where the ceiling went. The black mesh things aren't plastic, but steel lath. I feel sorry for the workers. Like I said before, this place is built like a bunker.


Another Pile-O-Ceiling. This is a sad thing because ceilings are supposed to be overhead, not at ground level.
