In January while Hector was in Florida with his family for a month, Royce and I were subdividing our lot down the road, where we used to live, and where Hector and I built a house last summer, then removed the old house and moved the renters into the new house. The old garage still remained, but needed to be removed before subdivision would be granted.

Very happy to have it to the point where the renters were able to move in on Dec 3, 2012 (a month after they left their previous house). There were some all nighters for Royce, and almost that long for Hector. Unfortunately it all came at the same time as Chimney cleaning, so Hector was not able to be there as much as was needed, and that delayed things. Royce also had his job at the school to balance with the building project. He still plans to finish the basement, but that is not a panic because the renters have rented only the top floor.
After last summer building a house to replace the old one, I was finished with building, and said "NO MORE" So for the most part, I wasn't over at this project very much, but the irregular schedule of the guys was stressful here too. In the end, they did drag me over there to clean, but that is almost impossible to do while they are still working, because you clean and then you clean again. I spent a good share of a week there, and the last 2 days a neighbour came to work with me, to earn a little Christmas Cash.
