Through 841

Lisa came home from swim lessons with the boys, and Kyle was excited to show me some video he took with his phone [QuickTime]. So the roof (or at least the roofing) is coming off.

So after I dropped Kyle off at water polo, I swung by the house. Jose was was just closing up... what he could close up... the house is pretty much gutted. He saved the windows and doors and locks. I was impressed and told him I'd need to come by tomorrow and take some pictures... he said if I wanted pictures with a roof, I'd better come early. He thought they were going to start removing the roof at 8am.

So I went home to pick up Lisa, Jack and the camera.

As you can see, debris has made a return up front...


And you can see where it came from: our now shingle-less roof...


And while the front still looks like a house--meaning you can't see through the walls-- the changes to the east and the north are "transparent":




I went through the doorless jamb into the master bedroom, and found a new hole in the floor

not quite sure what that's for...

But from the boys' room, looking back/north, it almost looks like a new house going up, except that it has a ceiling.


The portion of the hallway/bath is still intact, but the door jamb and heater are HISTORY (hooray!)...


And when we left, you can see right through the house.

In a sense, 841 is "through." In another, it's the start of something great (hopefully).

Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings...

Oh, yeah: we ran the garbage disposal then did laundry... no backup yet!
