Waterproofing done - and the rains are here...

Today was mostly cleaning up. Tons of concrete dust from removing the puke bricks, blowing it out and then washing the driveway, before washing the car as well.

Later a guy came and gave the foundation walls a "make over" with some heavy duty waterproofing. Very oily, very black. Amazing no cat managed to step in it since it took quite a few hours to be "dry to the touch".

Covered the dirt pile with plastic in order to control potential erosion. Should make the City happy.

Just before the rains started, we walked up to the Highlands and saw the final stages of the demolition of a house for the TV show "Extreme MakeOver - Home Edition".

A Kirkland lady with 4 kids has just been whisked away and where her old house stood earlier today, a brand new house, garage, and a pool will be built in ONE WEEK. Wow, just wonder how the building quality is at the end with such a pressed schedule.

In any case, she's likely happy. Getting a brand new house for her and the kids, all donated. Only happens in the U.S.
