A bee hive of activity

It wasn't supposed to rain until after noon today. Just can't believe the weather guessers. We decided to go to the lot just to see what was going on and give Casey Adams Construction their next draw. When we arrived there were 2 cement trucks there as well as Charles Tinker, our cabinet maker. Charles wanted to know when he could take measurements to start on the kitchen cabinets. He also talked to Casey about the vanity tops so he could start on them.

One of the cement trucks was just finished and the other had just started to pour their load for the cellar slab. We thought that was going to happen on Thursday. The cement contractor decided to risk the light showers and get the cellar floor in. He wanted to let it cure some before tomorrow's forecast sun. So it goes.

While we were there a large tractor trailer arrived with the roof trusses. That wasn't expected either. So Ben moved the big shovel and the driver moved the dump that were in the way of off loading the trusses. That big rig backed down the drive with no problem and deposited the trusses on the ground where they would be handy for the crane to lift.

Terri arrived and we reviewed the window plan with her so she could make that order today.

By 11:30 the well driller hadn't arrived. They were delayed with tire problems. Maybe later today or tomorrow. So we went for mail and lunch. After lunch we went to Essex and stopped in at State Farm to check on our construction risk policy. That policy will be effective tomorrow.

Framing should start tomorrow.
