Day 8 (i decided to count the weekends)

We had a good weekend...not as good as Jose's. This is early in the celebration and photos have been edited to protect the birthday boy.

I love the limited kitchen...we've been ordering in and eating out to my heart's content!

The last contractor left us a message..."You are a jerk for removing this panel off of this wall. Lou 8-10-75."

Apparently Lou was quite the master contractor...he magically made bricks defy gravity....

and joists float...

Don't worry, Lou--these issues are being taken care of. Framing is underway on the 1st floor, with the new brick exposures looking great.

Demo continues on the 2nd floor...more to come soon.
