I'm alive - barely!

Hi all blog watchers. I'm sorry there hasn't been a lot to watch lately! I got side tracked on our trip to Phoenix and then had to turn around and spend a week in Chicago! So there is a lot to show you. As of this afternoon they have about half of the plywood and tar paper on the roof. We had a little oops on the garage. Apparently there are two different drawings with two different dimensions called out. The concrete guys followed the foundation plan of course and the wall builders followed the floor plan. When they went to set the walls they were off by 8 inches on the opening to the double stall garage and over by 8 inches in the opening of the single car garage! We had two options: 1. rip out the offending foundation wall and start over (possibly risking heaving between two footings below ground) or 2. cut 4 inches off of both sides of the foundation for the double stall garage (gaining us 8 inches of width to the opening of the third stall). We chose option 2. Saturday when I got back from Chicago I was inspecting the fix and realized that they had cut the opening to 8 inches on both sides instead of 4 on both sides. So we had this cut and chopped up concrete. I was needless to say not a happy person. So today when I stopped by to talk to the foreman he explained that they will make a form and fill in the problem with new concrete and etch in a design by hand to match the brick form look of the rest of the foundation. Somehow we are still 2 inches off on the peak above the single stall garage, but Brian and I have decided that we don't think it will be that noticable from the street so we are going to let it go. Other wise it is really fun to walk through the house and see the rooms framed in. Harrison knew right where his room is. It is also fun to see what the views will be from our windows. I'm already dreaming of parties and holidays so get ready to come visit this fall!!!! Enjoy the new pics!
