Stairs Selfie, Take 2

December 11, 2016 By: Summer Samba44 Comments

Remember my selfie from last week? I was hoping that today I would be able to show you the finished stairs and take some selfies. There is only one problem.

They still aren’t completely done! Originally, they said it was a three day job and that was nearly a week and a half ago.

They did clear out the old concrete and sawed-off pieces of wood, and a lot of other stuff. But the patio is still a wreck. At least the stairs are almost nearly done. They laid down the concrete at the top yesterday but it was still wet when it was getting dark, so they couldn’t finish the last part. I can show you what we have.

See? They actually did a pretty good job, although they took such a long time! I think this is a good place to take my selfie, don’t you?

Well, this wasn’t very good! I was hoping to get the stairs in the background.

That was kind of a misfire — it’s blurry, plus I’m partly cut out of the frame.

I think I got it this time! I’m happy with this — I hope you are too.

    Whoa! that’s a steep flight of stairs. No wonder why it’s taking so long.

    Our mom has a way of calculating how long a project will take, especially those being done by a professions (like the guys who renovated our kitchen). Take the estimated time: 3 days, double that 6 days, then double that = 12 days. Summer, you are a master at the selfie! Thanks for hopping along.

    The waiting really is the hardest part, especially when it comes to construction projects. I’m glad your work is almost done. You’ll be zipping down those stairs in no time!

    That’s one great selfie! Can’t wait until the stairs are finished. Too bad about the concrete not being wet enough to put your pawprint in stone. You need Binga to get those folks moving on cleaning up the mess they left behind. Happy Sunday Funday! Purrs

    Summer, darling, you *know* I love you, but I am sorely disappointed in you. Honestly, any kitty worth her salt would have had at LEAST one paw print in that wet cement. I mean, where’s BINGA when you need her?????

    That was a great tour, Summer. Workers so often don’t get jobs on schedule. It’s very frustrating.

    We wish you a safe trip to Vancouver. Stay warm!
