We also found out that trusses aren't being delivered until Thursday, so the house roof won't get up til next week. However, we should be working on the outbuilding this weekend.
In the meantime FB Bill has been by to check out the readiness for concrete on the porch, garage and basement. He was pleased with the plumber for disposing of his own soils. However, we do need another load of pea gravel for the porch and garage. That should come tomorrow. And then hopefully the weather holds and we can get some concrete in this week.
We were out at the property Friday, jumping up and down, while Tom and Mary Beth flew over. This is the best picture, but you can't see us.
We were also out at the property yesterday morning to cut down some more trees (we are told the truss truck will need more width on the driveway bend), pick up nails with the stick magnet and pick up garbage. Mike, The Carpenter, was also out and the final walls (for the pantry and laundry room) are now up.
We went out yet again this afternoon, to move all the material, that the carpenters had left, out of the attached garage so that we are ready for concrete. While removing the tarps we saw a tiny fury critter run away. So of course the boys were then on the hunt. The Great Mouse Hunt. Poor little fella got cornered and then hid behind a 2x4. The boys tried to "trap him" with cut offs. And dumped nails in on top of him. I felt kinda bad, but at least they were occupied for a good 1/2 hour while we moved the materials!
