Thanks, Marilyn. And in the "never rains but it pours" category, I just got a call to come in for an interview for a completely different position at the Department of Social Services.

Break two legs! No, three! No ... in any case, am holding thumbs (an Aussie expression akin to "crossing fingers") that at least one of the positions comes through for you.
Cheers!

Work has stopped on the big house they’re constructing a few streets over. All the framing is done, and I’m guessing the rest will be carried out by the proper specialists. I have an image of the house moving on down the conveyor belt for each set of hands to add its particular piece.
It’s a palatial house for this neck of the woods – a full two stories among modest one-story bungalows and ranch-style homes like mine. It has a two-car garage worthy of a couple of formidable vehicles plus spacious storage and laundry facilities, a winding staircase to the second floor, and spaces for what I call “fancy windows” – those tall narrow arched windows you see in churches, filled with stained glass.
So next may come the plumbers, electricians, flooring specialists, cabinet makers, roofing and siding guys, window hangers and landscapers. But why has the conveyor belt been stalled so long, I wonder? Can’t wait to see the puzzle pieces set in place. I’ll let you know.

Could be any one of a number of reasons. Could be the money has dried up. Could be the materials are stalled for some reason. Could be the general contractor has a scheduling snafu. Could be the plans got changed for some reason. Could be there's a higher paying customer demanding the GC's time and personnel.
We'll be waiting for the final... um... installation. :-D

I was thinking what a risk it is to live theshellall open andunattended like that. Vandals or thieves.... Also the roof is not covered with anything but underlayment. I'm taking my walk past there today.

Yep, it's a risk. Usually GCs have insurance to cover that, but it's still a risk.

I walked by there this morning, and there was one blue pickup truck parked there and the sound of a saw running inside. Still, you could overpower him, B, if he's only one guy. Address is 666 Batwing Lane, Pleasant valley, CA

Someone mentioned Woolworth’s in an article I was just reading, and it brought back memories. Is any one of you old enough to remember the old 5 & 10’s? I think they’re gone now, but what a carnival emporium. They had everything you wanted cheap, and the place smelled like popcorn.
Two floors: on the first floor, beads, perfume, Kewpie dolls/ birds in cages and potted plants below, including a rich array of sandy dishes – lots of them. There was a fountain up top, too with stools staring into the great mirror, keepers full of coconut or apple pies. And that’s where the popcorn machine was, near the door, and hence, the corny butter smell.

Hate to admit it, but I remember Woolworth's ... and Kresge's in the Detroit area (where I grew up). Same general idea and now ... no more.
