Summer Doldrums....

Summer Storm on the River.

It was great having my mom and dad here and then to top it off, my brother came up for a couple of days as well.  He's always been interested in houses and was anxious to check out the build job.

Dry wall

Well things have slowed down considerably.  I knew this would be the case when the dry wall, taping and texture process began, but we had a bit of a delay getting the dry wallers started, then the tapers were absentee for a couple of days.  A few days ago they showed up for half a day, then disappeared again for a day and the word is that they are back to taping again today.  Fingers crossed!  Then we got the news that once the texture is on, we will have another week or two to wait for finish carpenters. The closer it gets to being done, the more anxious we all get to move things along.  

The building in the Boise area has exploded and after the crash many of the subcontractors got out of the business and went on to other things.  Now that the demand is back, there are just not enough good subs to go around and so we wait.

Last night, while we were out meeting the roofer and the excavator, a huge thunderstorm blew through.   It  was so beautiful in a really ominous way.  Sitting on the back patio will be a perfect perch to watch sunsets, thunderstorms and life.  I can't wait!
