Phase One - Week of 6/9/08 - The week started out well, with our foundation sub, Charles, doing a beautiful job of completing the site clearing and leveling. However, he informed us that he is still delayed on another job and may not be able to start the foundation this week. He also let us know that the guys installing our water pipe placed it too close to where future field lines are going to be and it needs to be moved about 15 feet, something he can handle and says is easy to do at this point. On another front, we received calls from our roofer and HVAC subs indicating that prices are going up so we need to go ahead and shell out some money now to lock them in. Good thing we just took out another 0% interest charge card! On the bright side, Norman says that if we can charge up to $35,000 we can earn enough "points" on one charge card for me to fly to Puerto Rico with him on a 4-day business trip. (There is always a silver lining to every cloud, right!?) Oh, one more thing. The guys doing our driveway delivered one load of gravel then fell off of the mountain. No kidding. They were returning with a second load of gravel, driving up the mountain, when the engine sounded weird so they pulled over to the shoulder. The shoulder didn't like that and gave way, toppling them ovder and down into a culvert. Luckily, no one was hurt and they hope to be back with a repaired truck next weekend. Pretty good excuse for knocking off early, huh?!
