Villa Park Update

The panoramic feature of the iPhone makes for some interesting distortions. I would love it if Villa Park B were really curved.

Rain, rain, go away

Come again some other day

The rain has finally let up enough to allow work to resume on Villa Park B. The problem was the trenches for the new foundation. They filled with water, and we had to wait for it to drain.

There was also a concern that the ground would be soft enough to cause the entire unit, which is supported on temporary footings and walls, to fall. It didn’t.

• Every day construction is delayed costs me tons of money.
• Taxes continue to accrue.
• The mortgage has to be paid.
• Financing costs for the renovation mount.

All that while neither unit is bringing in any income. I can’t rent the main house while the back unit is in such a precarious stage of renovation. #FirstWorldProblems.

At least, we’re making a little progress now.
