Construction in the neighborhood is definitely getting more interesting. It now appears that the house I wrote about last week will be getting more than a new façade. Judging from the marked-out area and the trenches dug presumably for footings for a foundation, a major addition to the front is planned.
Meanwhile, at the site I wrote about in June, where a vacant lot was created by demolishing a small stucco cottage, a slab was poured several weeks ago. It sat neglected until last Friday, when a load of lumber was delivered. Yesterday, some cut-up lengths of lumber could be seen piled on the slab, and this morning construction workers (at least six of them, as can be seen in the photo below) were at work by 7:30. By the time I went out for a walk about 10, they had made considerable headway on the framing.
This will all be very entertaining to watch.
