Its a Brick House

Side of the House
Interesting to note how the look changes as the mortar dries. You can tell which sections where done in sequence.

Interior Paint Color
They just started putting paint on the walls. I tried to capture both the base white and the new color in this photo.

We Have Walls

The sheet rock is up. Things are moving very quickly now. We should have interior doors, cabinetry, wall texturing, and maybe even brick next week.

Completed Foundation

The foundation is complete. In fact, as I type they are working on the frame. Things are really moving now.

Thoughts from the Game

• If traffic was that bad for a Rangers game, I do not want to be out there within a week of a Cowboys game
• Ian Kinsler is hitting the ball very well. Everything was solid contact
• Michael Young is a very good defensive 3rd baseman
• Josh Hamilton has not found his groove yet, but his Willie Mays catch in center was great
• Nelson Cruz looked off on every play in right field, not a good sign
• Hank's Homies should be excited, he seems motivated this year
• Marlon Byrd continues to be too productive to ignore
• Chris Davis looked silly at the plate
• Salty showed why his bat earned the starting job
• Andrus was nimble and efficient, exactly what we want
• Millwood was fooling hitter all day, lots of sky high pop ups
• Grady Sizemore is fast... beat out a for sure double play by making it to 2nd
• Nothing like a packed house to fire up the troops
• Note to the home crowd, our pitchers throw worse when you get rowdy
• Opening Day is much better than Monday at the Office
