Week Three - Stake Out!

Phase One - Week of 6/16/08 - After a two-week delay, our house is finally staked out! We were told that our foundation, Charles, would be out there "this evening," to stake it out, so decided to take a run over to the property at about 4:30PM. No signs of anyone. As we were leaving, we saw a truck coming towards us on the main road with a couple of guys in it who said they were lost and were looking for (our property). We led them to it, showed them where our house needed to be staked, then left. We wondered how they would have known where to stake it if we had not been there, but guess our foundation guy (these were his hirelings) knew things would turn out somehow....Tomorrow these same two guys - Carl & Uncle Dick - are to return to set out the batter boards. On another note, we had to go ahead & shell out the money for our wood floors. They had run out of the #2 grade we had settled on, so we bought a #1 grade for a bit more as the price is going up and up & our supplier already had it in stock & sold it to us for the "old" price.
