Taking Shape

The renovation is looking more real! The new floor decking has been placed & the studs for the walls have started to go up.

Progress at the end of the week.

What it looks like from the kitchen.

I took Chris & his assistant Spencer to lunch at K. O. Pizza today; Aloha Burger was closed again. Spencer brought his dog Frank along. It turns out Terri & I had met Frank a couple years ago when she was visiting; he was at the Sunshine Trading Post where Spencer's wife Coco works.

On the way back, Chris had to stop at his house to pick up some things. I got to meet his wife Bella, whom I had DMed with over Facebook back in July which is when I found out they had moved back from New Mexico. And how I got on his schedule to have him do the renovation that is happening now. I also got to meet their dogs Lucy & Mr. Peanut when I went back to spend more time talking story with Bella. She is so easy to talk to, I feel like I have known her a long time!

After leaving Chris & Bella's, I took Mo'o to see Dr. Hicks for her annual check-up & shots. Her weight has stayed stable, in fact, it was exactly the same as last year. She is 39.2 pounds which is a good weight for a dog her size. She needed her leptospirosis booster shot. She was also tested for heartworm (negative).

Kīlauea summit is inflating again. Scientists think there is more magma entering the chambers. In an overflight they confirmed that lava could be seen in the 2 vents. Stay tuned!
