Hello! Jules here. You haven’t heard much from me because I,
like most of you reading our blog, are wowed by Kelly’s amazingly
conversational writing style and, I, like most of you, am a tourist keeping
cadence with Docent Kelly from one blog post, “we’re walking; we’re walking;
we’re walking” to the next blog entry.
Let me fill you in on what happened after the earth below
the weeds was rediscovered, and we came home from work to find a Q*bert reboot made
of rebar, and Kelly stared at the build crew from every window in the house.
(Big ups to those of you who rocked Q*bert in the 1980’s!)

| See? Q*bert! |
 |
| I had no idea what was going on here but I thought they were building a giant piano. |
Wow!!! Yep, that about sums it up. Wow to the stress, the surprises, the neatly stacked cut-to-size piles of lumber. Then boom! In one day the piles of lumber were transformed into a seemingly massive structure in our backyard. You
can see that day in this two-minute timelapse video.
Click this. <-- No, not this.

| Yep, definitely a piano. |
 |
| Oooooh, a pretty jungle gym! |
Although the basic structure is up, you might think as I did,
“Super! They’re almost done!” but everything about Mom’s house is about to slow
down after this week. The conversation will likely become, “Where is everyone? Are
they coming back? They don’t think they’re done, do they?”
Today they began tearing up parts of two existing bedrooms and removing windows to build a hallway to connect our house to Mom's house.

| Goodbye closet. Goodbye wall. Hello sky! |
 |
| We should stop right here and make both rooms mine. |
With all the banging, sawing, and noise coming from the two rooms, Xander joined the party and danced the jitterbug all around our bedroom knocking stuff down. Bugatti continuously creeped me out through the webcam and peed on the bed. Why I oughta...

| Bugatti, the mad gato! |
In the next few days the trusses arrive. Exciting! The gatos can't wait to dance another day.
