Elijah's First Haircut

After much pleading from Gina and Patty I finally relented and agreed to let Elijah get a haircut. I wanted him to let the curls grow for another 6 months to a year but we were able to come to a manageable compromise. Top right is the finished look while it was still wet. Very Billy D.

Laying Bricks and Tile

The house is about half way bricked and most of the floor tile is down. It is interesting how fast these guys can move. One guys stands below and throws the bricks up to the two guys laying them and another runs the bucket of mortar up the scaffolding.

Witness to the Fitness

Back when Patty and I were making trips to SA to search for houses one of the first things we saw was the huge Lifetime Fitness off the highway. Without even going in we knew that was going to be our gym. What we didn't know is that this is no mere gym, it is nearly a country club. All this place is missing is a golf course and a bar. We are addicted to going which is probably a good addiction. This is by far the pimpest gym I have ever seen. It has hot tubs, saunas, pools, slides, cafes, salons, rock climbing, well you get the idea. Just hit the link since most of them across the nation have pretty much the same set up down to the architecture of the building.

Closing Time

The date has been set for the closing, August 28th. I can only assume my construction manager is stalling a bit or they ran into some subcontractor troubles because until now they have been on a torrid pace and more than once made it sound as if they could be finished in July. I think August 21-ish would have been ideal but I am cool with the 28th. Two more months of apartment living.
