What’s Walrus Building?

Posted by on

Well, not me, but the contractors are going at a good clip. Here are some highlights.

That is one wall of the bar. The second and third shelve walls had this grey covering. I asked them to see if they could match the paneling. What they discovered is that the previous owners for some reason put ceiling tiles on the wall and when they took them off found the wall was already paneled. Weird.

They created this spot out of a hall closet and part of my bedroom closet. The washer/dryer is going in there. It is a tower model. Also going in our some side shelves.

This is the framing of my kitchen. Fridge is going by the door. Got the tiles and the counters picked out. It should be done in about ten days. I’m planning another trip up next week to see the progress.

Well that’s it for this week. Another 20 days until I move in. Still packing and throwing stuff out. The joys.

2 Los Angeles County Beaches Closed Due To Massive Sewage Discharge

KTLA | 5/9/24

Two Los Angeles County beaches are closed due to a massive sewage discharge on Thursday.

The closure was caused by the release of around 14,400 gallons of untreated sewage into ocean waters, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.

You keep using that term. I do not think it means what you think it means.

The affected beaches include:

  • Venice Beach – From Ballona Creek to one mile north
  • Dockweiler State Beach – From Ballona Creek to one mile south

People who enter the ocean during this time could become ill, especially children, the elderly or those who are immunocompromised.

The sewage discharge began on May 8 and ended on May 9 at 12:09 p.m. This caused around 14,400 gallons of sewage to enter Ballona Creek.
