If you're wondering if we are still recoiling from the discovery of rotting studs. Have no fear! The contractor, unlike when he didn't have any of our money and could start tomorrow, got the down payment and finally worked us into his work queue. Let's just say the real world is about two weeks behind the "as soon as we get the payment" parallel universe.
The up shot is they are scheduled to begin a week from tomorrow. At only two weeks later than he originally said it's really just a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme.
I had some dental work done on Saturday morning, the rest of the weekend I was out of commission foggily woozing through Saturday and Sunday. Michael did more planning for the yard. I think we are getting closer to a design for the trellis. Right now it's a combo of wood and copper pipes. We'll see where it ends up.
Tuesday we plan to meet with the contractor to tie up a few lose ends and then hopefully next week at this time it'll feel like christmas eve.
Contractors work on a schedule all there own. They say a job will take 3 days because that is time they actually spend on the job. It just so happens that those "3 days" are spread out over 3 weeks. I can't deal with it, that is one of the reasons I do everything myself.
