Back from Christmas and things are happening
I got back to Cal CIty on Wednesday morning after Christmas at 3:30am. It was a long day!! I'm glad I returned instead of staying back in FL waiting for New Years. I was able to get a lot done in the 3 days before going to Las Vegas to meet Jan for New Year's Eve. Here's what's been going on:
Electrical Done
I was introduced to a nice fellow named Brian who works for an electrican. Brian wires houses. He was out of work for the week due to it being a holiday and was wanting to pick up some extra$$. He finished the electrical rough in on Saturday morning
Some Welcome Help
A nice fellow named Dave came to JB's work site and was looking for work. I hired him to help me with general work. Dave's a finish carpenter who is handy and was a great help so far and will be in the near future as well. The photo is of him and the fireplace 'chimney' surround he built on Friday.
Stucco first Coat
The Stucco guys put the first coat (called the scratch coat) of Stucco on. It takes 3 coats and they won't put the second one on until after the sheet rock is up inside the house.
