Ok, Not Done. But Close.

So, as it turns out, Bunkport & Company aren't quite finished. But they're close! And they swear they will be done & cleaned up right on schedule, by end of day tomorrow!

Here's what they've been working on:

Final cement & trim work on that wall that is also supporting the kitchen.

They also opened up a section of the rotting wall (a fence, really) that is dangling there over on the other side, in order to take a look at the heater vent in between the houses. This is the wall before all this started:

You can stick a pen through this wood.

This is what's behind there:

Look! The neighbor's basement! Those are cans of paint on an Ikea-style dresser, and the waste line from their kitchen. Those blue things appear to be swim noodles.

Let me say again: this is literally the inside of the neighbor's house. I could climb in there & go on up to dinner if I wanted. Say what you will about our messed up back extensions, but at least the foundation of our actual house is sound.

I hope no raccoons find their way in there tonight.

In other news, the house is hosting this nice foliage in the back:

I don't think this counts as "green building."

This is the part of the house that will someday become the sun room. The beauty of vinyl siding is that it seals in all the moisture! Very valuable in a damp city. We already knew there was water damage in this wall, even before this living proof presented itself, so we're not all that alarmed. They're going to get rid of the plants -- it's jasmine, I'm told -- & plug up the holes tomorrow before they leave, as well, to hold things over until we're able to start work on this part of the house. Someday.
