Keep on movin...Keep on movin don't stop no!

things are fast and furious.  money's flowin.  STUFF. IS. HAPPENING.

the the pictures are HERE.

here's a rundown of the current activity:

Plumbing = 80% done.  currently, they are digging down through the concrete floor of the basement to extract the 60+ year old main pipe that leads out to the city sewer line.  the old one is rusted and full of dirt [at least I think its dirt]. they have finished the rough-in plumbing [everything behind the walls] on the top floor and main floor.  they just need to hit the both kitchens [main kitchen and basement] and the basement bathroom.  some minor additions and touch ups are all that's left after that. They are expected be done Friday 5/14.

Electric = 90% done.  they have wired the entire main level of the house, save for a few spots in the kitchen.  they need to finish the basement and then they are done with this phase of their work.

HVAC = IN PROGRESS.  they just started today.  it should only take them 2 days to finish it up.

Other Progress:

1 - the rear deck has been torn down, to be replaced with a new one.
2 - once the rear deck was removed, they laid down a fresh layer of concrete in the rear to serve as our parking pad [good for one very small car...like Jenny's Mini-Cooper]

what's next: the roof [finally], rebuilding the back deck, and wiring the house for Audio, Video, and internet [which I'll be doing with an assist from my brother, Ted, who's coming down from NY]

and: a sign of the end stages coming near: we're ordering the bathroom fixtures [sinks, tubs, faucets etc.] so they can be installed next week.

on and on to the break of dawn....
