In Which We Suffer More Infuriating Set-Backs
So the house passed yesterday and we're clear to get the ball rolling with SRP for power. They'll be having an inspection tomorrow and if all goes well we get on the waiting list to receive power. We have to wait on the window, but we're going to move on the punch list and get the drywall dings and other things tuned up and ready to go.
This afternoon I got a call from the counter top people with some bad news. The color that was backordered? The stuff we thought was going to be delivered and installed Monday? Yeah, it's now pushed back until October 6th. Not only do they not have any in, but their distributor has none. Not only does their distributor have none, but they can't find any anywhere. Apparently they have to wait for DuPont to manufacture more in Texas and even then they're not positive they'll have anything come October.
The good news is they have the stuff in that we wanted for the work center and laundry room (it was a different color than the kitchen) so they will at least be installing that next week as planned.
The landscapers were out and did the rock around the house. They also put the cement steps in place that we salvaged from the little house's landscaping. It's great that they survived both moves and now we don't have to worry about tromping through mud between the houses when it rains. The landscapers did a great job and used more rock than we were expecting. Top notch job and pretty reasonable. Chris' next task is to spray for bugs around both houses.
I will be so glad when this project is done.
