A man crashed his car into a telephone pole this morning around 3AM, and the car caught fire starting a vegetation fire on the main road into our canyon. The road was closed except to residents from then until 2PM. Fortunately, they let our workers who were coming from the South in. Those from the North could not get through.

Nina was out there in the early afternoon and found people working on the West driveway and one electrician who was working on the apartment. The fire took so long to put out because we are facing Santa Ana winds this week, and it was windy and very hot.

She watered the new green roofs and as much of the rest of the yard as she could. Sometime between the time we were there yesterday and this afternoon, counters were installed along the walls in the kitchen and in the laundry room. For various reasons, the sinks for the kitchen island will arrive next Tuesday. The picture below shows one side of the kitchen.

The laundry room sink was installed because it was here.

Pete has been working on a two-tiered set of gabions along the upper driveway. The following 4 pictures show the gabions from left (lower) to right (higher).
