Add lime, chill, and serve: Slow and steady progress...

Have you been outside today? I went outside today. The temperature was 90000038290473270928 degrees Fahrenheit.

When I looked up the weather this morning, the forecast called for sizzle.

It's hot out. Which is why I am so appreciative of the work these guys are doing:

Heat rises. Maybe it wasn't the best day to bring out the ladder.

Today the crew is replacing broken windows and fixing up the wobbly ones. And speaking of windows...

We put up "Coming Soon!" signs! Some how they make everything seem like its coming together, even if the progress has been slow. Slow, but steady progress- and it's starting to show! This is what the floor looked like last week:

These floors have seen better days.

This is Mike a.k.a. The Sand Man.

But this is what the floors look like now!

It makes me want to slide around in my socks, all "Risky Business" style

Hello stubby toes. My brother calls them my Flintstone feet.

There's also a lot more work going on outside. Today a bunch of trees were cut back so it looks less like a jungle. (But that was early in the morning before the camerawoman had enough coffee to know a camera from a camaro.) Much of the day has been devoted to patching up the wobbly slate in the patio. However, um, someone (totally not pointing fingers here ::cough cough The Sand Man did it! cough::) decided to patch up the grey slate with bright white concrete. You know concrete is naturally grey (er, gray? whatever), so I don't understand why white concrete was chosen as a filler, but maybe it was an artistic vision. In any case, we're fixing up the patio.
