Well, we aren't driving all the way up there today since we have the loan closing today at 1:00. The builder was up there to make sure that the guys putting up the forms for the concrete walls of the basement really know where to put the windows in the prow wall of the basement.
They needed him there it appears. He said that their fellow employee who took the drawings with him in his truck who didn't come up on Tuesday, but was supposed to be back with the drawings on Wednesday did not bring them! So, the builder had to give them the page of his that was the copy of the basement drawings.
Today they are supposed to finish the forms and the concrete should be poured. We'll see.
Tomorrow we have to meet with the builder at our bank to get him to sign one form that was needed for the loan closing since we have begun construction before the closing. He has to agree to make sure that all the subcontractors who have already done work are paid. That's no problem. Heck, it's the subcontractors that ought to be required to sign agreeing to pay their employees not our builder agreeing to pay the subs! So far that's the only issue that has caused a problem. Our builder had to agree to pay the subs employees himself to get them to work since the sub's checks to his employees bounced last week!
Anyway, the plan is to finish forms today and get some concrete poured. Then tomorrow maybe they'll take the forms down. Again, we'll see.

I didn't have to sign in or anything to make this post, just so you'll know!
I wonder if there will be a survey card for you to fill out after all the building is done to evaluate the crew???!! I'd sure dread reading THAT if I were them!

Hey, I made it! For awhile I thought I'd have to be silent on this thing.
