I don't know how long the rest will take and we're hoping to get a projection from Santi this weekend. He had hoped to have everything done before Semana Santa (Easter Week), but he then came down with bronchitis and was out of commission for a week (I would have been laid low for 3).Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-43827773515535421062016-03-12T19:56:10.187+01:002016-03-12T19:56:10.187+01:00Bob:

Our neighborhood had been mostly woods with a few quaint old houses scattered around. Then our subdivision went in. Fortunately, they saved a big portion of woods, which is now a preserve. Massapequa Park was about 10 minutes south of us (by car), separated from us by Massapequa Preserve.Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-59732055668065060662016-03-12T19:46:15.440+01:002016-03-12T19:46:15.440+01:00Jim:

It figures we would have had a similar childhood home. We lived there from '56 to '64.

He wants to check into a hotel, with the cats, for the next month. We'll definitely want a hotel room for a brief period, but I'd rather sleep amid the construction.
