Land Update!


We are slowly but surely making progress on our land. We waited a week for the plumber to come out and do the rough plumbing. After a week, we ended up getting a different plumber, because the first guy was still busy. One wasted week. The plumber finally came out the following Wednesday. The Saturday after the plumber finished, was when the sand people were to come and pour the sand into the stem wall. That was the Saturday we got all of the rain, so it didn't get done. The next day we went out to the land and there was 4-5 inches of standing water inside the stem wall. Our builder pumped it out and then we had to let it dry out for 3 days. Finally, on Thursday the sand people put the sand inside the stem wall and the termite people came and drenched the sand with insecticide. Today, the concrete people came at 5:30 a.m. and starting pouring the slab, finishing just in time for the concrete to dry before the rain came again. Looking to the future. On Monday the lumber is to be delivered and the framers are to start the frame on Tuesday. In about ten days the frame should be complete, depending on how much it rains. Hopefully in about 2 weeks we can have pictures of our house!
