Construction Continues

For the second time this week, we heard the pitter patter of raindrops on the roof today. It's July, people. In So. California. Rain?!? Weird, weird weather.

Interior construction continued this week. This was our entry hall last weekend. And this is our entry hall now. The tile - which was original to this 28 year old house - is gone. Dick hired Gary and a buddy to break out the flooring, since Dick is under doctor's orders to rest his shoulder this week (he has the beginnings of arthritis; the dr. gave him a shot on Monday and told him to not. use. the. arm. Is he listening? Sometimes.)

Plastic drop cloths went up everywhere, in an almost-successful attempt to control the dust. It took the boys just over 2 hours using power tools and a low-tech push broom. The new flooring will be the same ceramic tile that Dick put in the family room and hallway. Next up? The living room carpet is OUT of here!
