July Already?

So we now have one month to get That Old House safe for habitation. That involves ripping off the old enclosed porch, building a new exterior wall, extending the roof to the new wall, tearing out the old wall, replacing the heater and ductwork, moving the electrical service and running wiring to new kitchen, plumbing the new kitchen, etc etc. OK, it's not all getting done in a month. But how much is enough? Should I just find an apartment now?

Boudreaux the Contractor got the first big check today for the kitchen job. He'll get permits Tuesday and start demo on Wednesday. Lafitte will be continuing the shoring work on the rest of the house while the kitchen gets demolished. The yard looks like a, well, construction site with the debris from the chimney and shoring strewn about, not to mention the three large holes dug by the gas company. At least it's fenced and not visible from the street.

Cheers and happy Fourth from the Nola family.
