New House Progress
The sheet rock should have been done by now. Stacks of it were distributed all over the house at least a week ago, but it hasn't been touched since then. We're trying to find out what the holdup is. In the meantime, material has been added to the posts in the living room and the laundry room drain pipe has been installed. We actually saw a house with a heating vent in the kitchen cabinet base, so maybe the kitchen vent wasn't a mistake after all. As of yesterday they were building forms and preparing gravel prior to pouring concrete for the front porch and driveway. It looked like they were also getting ready to add the sidewalk, at least in that area. By the way, the house next door already has landscaping. It was started just a few weeks ahead of ours.
The builder would have to perform a miracle to finish the house by February 15, which will be our last day in our present house. Under the circumstances, any delays are frustrating...
