Day 234 - Biting the bullet...

Last weekend, Charles told us that he thought we wouldn't be able to move in at the end of January as planned (according to the revised revised plan). Despite Dave's assurances that everything would be finished except for some of the trimming out work, it seems quite clear that this just will not happen by the end of January, although it should be finished by mid-February. So I bit the bullet and changed the ticker at the top of the blog from building completion of mid-December to moving date 4 weeks later than originally planned (Jan 25th). I think I will take Dave up on his statement of an end-January completion and make a bet with him on it...

We were supposed to meet the flooring supplier yesterday, but some of his crew got stuck on a job and he had to go help them out. So we met Mike at the house today to go over some of the selections. Overall, we are happy with our selections, and happy also that we have been able to stay within budget. Hopefully there will be no hidden surprises there.

Just when we were leaving, we noticed that the half wall in the laundry room was framed to the ceiling. On the plan, this is called a "utility tub", and is intended to be an area where we can wash Tawny when she gets all muddy. At one end, this is supposed to have a half wall where the faucet is attached. I will talk to Dave about that on Monday. (When we got home I checked the plan and it is not clear from the drawing that it is a half wall.)

Looking ahead at the weather, it looks like we will have some amazing mild weather this week. This is a fabulous opportunity to get the rest of the exterior work completed.

Needless to say, we are all quite tired.
