The brick skirt is finished (mostly). And the Grinch oversees the wrecked front yard.

 The brickers were supposed to be finished last week. Note that all that is left is the top of the tower on two or three sides.  But rain on Friday kept them from finishing. They were going to come back Saturday and/or Sunday to finish, but Saturday was too wet from the Friday rain and it rained again on Sunday.  So they are supposed to be here to finish on Monday, but I suspect it will be too wet from Sunday’s rain. The concrete guy was supposed to be here Monday, but he got put off till Tuesday. When the brickers can’t finish on Monday, then the concrete guy will get put off till Wednesday. Ad infinitum.
