We're feeling a bit exposed to the world, but the project is coming along quickly. In one day, they demolished the old fence, set the new fence posts and hauled away the debris. Now the hundreds of people who walk by here daily can finally get a good look at our poor dried up backyard!
We have a Ukrainian crew, two strong young men, both obviously experienced with building materials. And extremely hard working. They started yesterday morning before 7 and worked straight through until almost 4. We never saw them leave the site, or for that matter, take a sitting break.
No cheerful, loud Hispanic music on this job! Serious-sounding Ukrainian? talk radio playing softly in the background. I would love to hear their stories, but would have to rely on Google translate. They don't speak much English and too busy for chit-chat anyway.
That's about all the news, other than some Nana bragging in order. Maya is having a great season on swim team and came in first in her age group for girl's freestyle. And looking at the meet results, almost 2 seconds ahead of the fastest 10 year old boy. Go Maya.
