No, the house wasn't on fire - although at times we felt like burning it this week. We obtained a permit from Blendon Township (thanks Kurt for everything) and had our very first brush burn (Thanks to Terry Brinks at Artistic Landscaping for your support). But last week wasn't without its upsets. Stan stopped by the house last Thursday afternoon to check on progress only to discover that a concrete truck was sitting on or very close to our drainfield/septic system. When Stan told them where they were sitting, a worker jumped in the truck and put it in gear only for the truck to sink down to its axles. Needless to say, we're having the entire system inspected this week with a camera.
Our driveway was paved this week. If Stan hadn't been there, it too would have been a disaster. The driveway wasn't wide enough, didn't have enough base gravel, and the pavers were going to do both the base and top coat in the same day (not what was agreed to with the Builder). Stan talked to the pavers and got everything back on proper track.
We've had other challenges, but we're waiting to see if this situation improves or deteriorates.
We will keep everyone updated accordingly, and appreciate the larger than anticipated following of our construction progress.
