Sheathing 11/29/05

Sheathing continues to the right side and the back. When I left at 5:30 pm part of the sun room was done, most of the right side and the back was done. The two windows in the master bedroom, and the windows in front boy's room were installed. Very little progress was made in the installation of soffits. One of the steps to the basement stairs broke (already). I brought water and propel to the workers and was very much appreciated. I met Onisimo who spoke a little English and together with my little Spanish and his little English and with his house plans on hand, he agreed that that the kitchen window should not be present. Also, I told him that 8 ft doors go in all the lower level rooms and I showed them were this was specified on the plans. Hopefully, he can help me get this thing resolved since Jeff and Jeff had not been able to communicate this part to the workers, urgh.

Sheathing 11/28/05

They finished framing the upstairs on Saturday. The stairs to the upstairs was completed early today (before 8:30 am). They started sheathing, installing the soffits and putting on the windows in the gameroom and in girl's bedroom. I pointed out to the workers that the kitchen window was a mistake and needed to be covered but apparently my Spanish was not good enough. Who knows if I unknowingly told them to bake a dog or empty the cat. The workers were surely chatty with me when the husband isn't around. The other men were talking so fast in Spanish and I haven't got a clue what they were saying. Once in a while I would hear the men say "Senora".
