Progress but less...

The interior partitions are essentially done. The BIG wait is on for the roof of the garage. The roofers came yesterday to do it and it was STILL too wet to do the job. They are going to try again Monday before the rain comes in again on Monday afternoon for 3 days. Given that we are now HERE until June 8th, it is a bit less stressful but the schedule needs to be followed or other contractors will be held up doing their work. As it is, deliveries are being delayed as the 'storage' in the garage is not ready. Reviewed the electrical plan for the garage, did a lot of site work to allow the Genie lift to get around, stabilized the dock on the water and cleaned up the site. Some trim was done on the front of the house AND two of the windows went into place. The rest of the windows and the doors, yet to arrive on site, might well be in by the end of the week! IF all that happens, we might be ready for the 'blow test' where the house is pressurized to see if there are air leaks. That will be a big result as there is about 75 rolls of bright red sealing tape in the house on all the seams, junctions, wall and roof penetrations and floor openings. The new owners of our current house have started to store stuff in our garage (their garage) and to fill the wood shed. They are evidently burning dry pine...this is not a good sign. Matt
