With the foundation set in place, the boys started piling up the concrete blocks.  This is the progress on the new west wall after Day 1.

New west wall, a little more than a third of the way up.

The ugly building next door, barely visible in the photo on the left beyond the new wall, is an old nightclub from forever ago.  It’s slated to come down, probably before we even move in, and will eventually be something residential. 

And an update on the windows and rear door- I’ve had a call from the fine folks at Marvin Windows, who said they are ready to deliver the rear door and windows.  We asked for delivery on February 9th, which they said should work out fine.
