Phase One - Week of 7/7/08 - The good news is that our foundation is 99% complete and looking good. The bad news is that we assumed that our fireplace foundation was included in the foundation bid, but guess what...? You guessed it. Boy, did we mess up, to the tune of over $2,000! Luckily for us, the contractor finishing up our block work is going to make time to do our fireplace next week. (Stop laughing, Tim.) The rest of this phase is going slowly, e.g., the underground electric and septic work. Our contractor for those items was supposed to be there towards the end of this week, but no show and no call back yet. It looks like these delays will set back the log delivery date to somewhere between the 21st to the end of this month. Oh, well, I'm sure things will soon be zipping right along...(Tim, if you are reading this, stop laughing.) Tim, by the way, is one of our friends who recently built his own home. He had a GC but it still took him 16 months to finish up. MOUNTAIN TIME?
