Movie Night
Discovery Green hosted a showing of the movie Rushmore to celebrate that films tenth anniversary.
The weather was remarkably comfortable for summer evening in Houston and a good time was had by all.
This coming Friday they are showing the classic silent film Metropolis with a live music ensemble performing an original musical score as an accompaniment.
House Is Level
I was stopped no less than 4 times by readers of this blog as I was out and about and asked about the foundation repair and for a wrap up of events. I didn’t think anyone was all that interested, and I certainly did not mean leave you all in a lurch.
I am happy to say the work was completed the same day and all is well. Our home is whole and intact. Yay!
They cleaned up everything and you can hardly tell they were here at all. Here are a few parting shots of the work in progress which will give you an idea of why we might have been concerned regarding that point.
Olshan did a fine job. The house is level level level. They hauled away all the equipment, filled all the holes, replaced the displaced landscaping and poured fresh concrete on the driveway and the front porch. The doors close easily and the cracks in the dining room, the TV room and the outside wall have all closed up as the house was jacked back up into its original position.
The birds are recovering from their trauma and this will be forgotten as we pile on the treats and scritchums to make up for them having to go through this.
Holes
As I watch this unfold the tune from The Great Escape is playing in my mind’s ear…

Jackhammer
They say there are two kinds of houses in Houston. Those that need foundation repair and those that will need foundation repair. We just changed from the second to the first category.
The jackhammer is freaking out the birds a little. The house is vibrating, and not in the good way. Thanks god I’m not hungover with a headache and thank technology for telecommuting.
