As we expected, not much happened on the house since last Monday’s post. Between the general contractor being out of town all week and the two inches of much needed rain that we got on Thursday, only Avi, who does concrete work, and one of his assistants was here at all.

Picture 1 shows the door from the second floor that will lead to this bridge. Picture 2 shows the depth of the hole itself. (One of Ted’s friends once described him as someone who always wants to look into holes.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
