Our builder and his crew put in the mailbox and Ellen and I put on the address numbers. I was worried about the placement of the mailbox since it was further away from the driveway then I had originally wanted. For one reason it could be considered to be encroaching on our neighbor's land. Luckily on Friday morning the JV Burkes Survey crew were there when I happened to be there as well and I asked them about the mailbox. They said it was no big deal and it was considered to be on the Parish road right-of way and that survey crews don't worry about mailboxes.
Taking advantage of the week long dry spell, the final grading got started but couldn't be completed this weekend. That's not so good because Hurricane Ida has survived crossing Nicaragua and is now a definite threat to southeastern Louisiana. I don't expect the winds to be a problem; it is the rain that I am worried about! Oh my nerves are becoming very frayed.
When will we be able to move in? There is not much time between now and when Ellen and I are supposed to go to the UK for my father's 80th birthday.
