Pond grows deeper

More and more sand

Pond is as much as 17 feet deep so far
The excavators worked this past week deepening the pond and starting to contour the front and side yards. The drywallers are all but finished and the walls are primed. It's amazing to think that all of this progress has taken place in two months. We met with our builder on Saturday, July 3, to brainstorm about trim details. We were delighted when we were informed that cabinets will be installed this week. On a less than pleasant note, our builder provides us with a sworn statement on the first of each month. We learned that there was a miscalculation on the roofing estimate which resulted in a $1.8K overage. We agreed that the cost of the error would be split four ways. 25% by the roofer, 25% by the CAD company, 25% by the builder and we'll swallow the last 25%. Hopefully this is the last miscalculation.
