Frustration is building as a cold front has swept through and dumped another inch or so of rain. The driveway is in real bad shape. October registered 8 inches of rain which is above normal for this time of year. We really need some dry weather so we can get the land graded. The forecast is looking good and if all goes well maybe we can get a certificate of occupancy by 10 November and start moving in on Veteran's Day, 11 November.
Inside the house the countertop hole for the cooking vent has been cut. But now we face another challenge the blower motor is on the side facing the gas range and there may not be enough space! Complicating matters is the additional floor height from the tiles beneath the stove which has raised the height of the cooking surfaces and stove height. Our builder Joe was able to work out a solution with the countertop cutters to create a raised lip around the stove opening. Meanwhile the deep-clean lady has come down with the flu so the house is still very messy.
We had time enough to inspect the house and get home for the few kids we expect for Halloween. I am giving out Louisiana satsumas (mandarin oranges) instead of candy.
