Little steps.

I has been a couple weeks since I last blogged, but not a whole lot has happened, well except rain of course.  It seems just about the time we get to the next stage in our building process we get one step forward and then it rains several inches and we have to wait about a week for it to dry out and if we are lucky we will get to do something else before it rains again.  But I am not going to be negative about it because I only want positive thoughts from here on out so we have very little delays.  So here is what we have completed since the flood.
Two days of heat and air...

We didn't realize everything was PVC now and not the metal anymore.

On the second day they brought about 7 or 8 loads of sand to spread before the slab, but then what happened?  They did heat and air on Tuesday and Wednesday and the inspector came out Thursday.  Well, I bet you can guess what happened that weekend.. rain... *sigh*.

But everything at this point has been approved.. the stem wall...

The plumbing...

The electrical ...

And the heat and air, but I forgot to get a picture of that.

Then things dried out and on Friday the crew came out to spread the sand and lay the slab and

Ta-da!! Yippie!  Finally!  And just in time for... MORE RAIN!  It sprinkled Friday evening/night and then rained Saturday morning/afternoon and then again Sunday evening.  I have no idea when the next time is that they will be able to do more work seeing as how there is a chance of rain everyday through Tuesday with the most being on Thursday.  I saw Mark drive up there earlier today, but I am not sure what he was looking at or what he determined.  So we will just have to wait and see what happens.
