shimizu remodel: All that's left is the kitchen sink!

We've had several days of so much commotion I can hardly think of where to begin. If it wasn't for the damn lumberyard messing up my order, literally 4 times! Can you believe these guys still messed up my order after the whole "Ass Kickin'" incident! But it's true. Though as of today we have everything we ordered and we are moving along so fast my head is spinning. In the last few days, the pony walls have gone up around the garage:

2 days ago I went to the lumberyard in the morning, and came home to this: Bye Bye fireplace!!! But don't fret, it's just moving to my new living room!

Today it was like a fire drill around here when the rest of the kitchen came down. It was a very busy day. What is really exhausting is trying to communicate! I have to think of what I want to say in about one or two words, then I have to try and spell the word! Empty, how do you spell Empty? i have to flip thru my handy dandy translation dictionary, try to spell the word correctly and then try to pronounce the word in spanish. I tell you it's taxing! But somehow I manage to get my point across and it does seem to be getting a little easier everyday. Though the really really important stuff I still have to call Pablo for a smooth translation!
