Please click on thumbnails for a 640x480 view, best viewed using 1024x760 so the words don’t appear out of synch with the pics. No biggie if it does.

Scafolding’s up to enable the workers to wrap the house in black paper and chicken wire. Black paper feels kinda water-resistant, and the wire-mesh allows this stucco-thingy to cling to it, giving the exterior a concrete look. Definitely something I don’t see the aussies do. Maybe it’s an earthquake-resistant thing.

Last time I checked (7/2/2000 or 2/7/2000, depending on where you are), the whole house is all wrapped up. I expect to see a huge red bow around it when we move in.

View of dining/living from the front door. Gyprock sheets are piled up in the center (centre) of the room, and pink batts are mostly up. Gotta check back to make sure these guys fill in all the holes with batts. Luckily I was able to bribe the security guard with a case of beer. We were informed that we were not allowed into the construction site.

Quick view from the garage. Can’t see it from this pic but San Pablo bay can be seen to the right; San Pablo bay is an extension of San Francisco bay which is a few miles to the left. I’ll grab a pic from upstairs next time. Regardless, view will be blocked by another house in the very near futire.
