House Update #1

We're a week in and the first part of last week was great! Everybody was working pretty fast in order to beat the monsoon that came during the last half of the week. So...we have the footers inspected and poured for the new part of the house, the drain installed and inspected for the new location for the washer and....drumroll....a fence along Assclown Neighbor's property line!! (no, that has nothing to do with our work, but it's worth mentioning).
The monsoon left us with a sloppy wet pile of dirt and busted up concrete immediately outside our back door. Until they pour the slab out there (slated for this Friday- cross your fingers), we've essentially lost use of our back door. Willow can't get it through her head that she has to go out in the front yard to do whatever it is she has to do. She's not the sharpest tack in the box sometimes.
Here are a few pictures.
Like the Port-a-Potty? Sexy, no? And, for good measure, here's a shot of the fence. He actually told Brett it was going to be a privacy fence. Clearly, his definition of "privacy" is a little porous, but it's better than the rotted, half-collapsed monstrosity that used to be there. A few evergreen plantings this summer will help, too.
