Day #247

Yesterday a lot of progress was made on the electrical. The entire house has all the gang boxes nailed up, All the can lighting in place and the only thing to be done is pull the wire and connect! The well finally has power to it so we officially have running water and a hose!!!

Last night the Mason came out to the house to pick up the lot ticket to get the stone for the front of the house. When he got to Menard's they informed him that we had a total of 7,500 pounds in stone and he was not able to haul it.

Jeff called me around 7:30 while he was in his classes for church to let me know that the stone wouldn't be delivered until Saturday.. NOPEEE NOPE NOPPPEEE!!! The mason has a job to start on Monday so our house has to be finished before then and a Saturday delivery was just not going to cut it. I put my thinking cap on and knew just who to call!! Thankfully my cousin made the trip out to Menard's and picked up all the stone for us at 8:00 at night! That is what I call a life saver!!!

The masons started on time with all materials this morning at 5:30am and the electricians, Jeff and my grandpa are all at the house pulling the wire! It should take until Monday for the house to be fully wired. The stone should be complete by Sunday and Siding will start on Monday!

Now for the funny part of the day! I got to work this morning, checked my Inbox and found a "your order has shipped" email! YAY!! My bathtub is on its way.... TO MY OFFICE!!!! When I paid for the order through pay-pal, it input my usual shipping address to Home Depot which put my tub on a one way freight to my office building. Thankfully I was able to catch it in time and reroute the delivery. Not really sure how I would be able to explain a 72x42 bathtub in the lobby to my boss!
