What a Difference a Week Makes!

All forecasts pointed to nothing but rain in Texas during the time we were in California. We were just sure nothing was done on the house. Finally, we couldn't stand it any longer and Bob called Jay last Saturday.

The rain had stopped long enough to pour the foundation on Friday. Even better news, he anticipated framing to start by the middle of this week.

We drove down to see the foundation the day after we got home. Not only did we have a foundation, we had about 7 people working on the framing. The framing will take about 3 weeks but we've seen significant progress in the last few days. As we stand at the 'front door' we can visualize rooms and walk through the 'house'. It is really exciting to see the plans we've lived with on paper for so long coming to life!

Countdown.....

There has been siginificant progress on the house. Just nothing as exciting as a foundation would have been.....
August 15th at 4:30 a.m., the concrete trucks were supposed to be on our street. The foundation was to be poured at 5:00 a.m.
At 2:22 a.m., we heard the first crack of thunder in Denton. No foundation on Friday. Now, it is supposed to rain all week.
The unusual weather would normally be a welcome break to us in August. We are usually in the warmest, dryest part of the year by now. It has been in the 70's and low 80's, cloudy & rainy.
Just hope that by the time we get back from California, we are back to hot, dry Texas in the summer.....and I can't even believe I just wrote that!
