Later today, that is.
Yesterday construction work paused again. Not due to oncoming trains at the end of the tunnel this time. Merely because The Wandering Monk had other commitments. Though unhappy to lose momentum, I found it glorious to bask in the sun of one of our rare, nearly perfect spring days.
The Monk returns today, with minion, and the first order of business is taking a saw to the back end of what was once meant to be the bedroom.
The minion he’s bringing is not the neighbor he felt so sorry for. Said desperate neighbor declined to do what he perceived as heavy lifting work. Perhaps for cause. The Monk says he’s a small guy, a Laotian.
Instead, he’s bringing another acquaintance and we’ll see how that goes. The minion isn’t scheduled to do anything structural, mostly just site cleanup, breakdown of deconstruction rubble, concrete mixing, and if all goes well, helping to drag at least one 16′ 6×6 under the house.
If we get that far today, I will be thrilled.
Pix to come later!
