Porch Report

Tuesday...builders arrive right on time. I like these guys a lot. Take out portion of existing deck. Dig footers. Pour concrete. Takes maybe 1/2 day. Call county inspector.

Wednesday....builders arrive and wait for inspector. Pours rain. Inspector calls and says it's raining too hard. Builders leave.

Thursday....builders arrive and wait for inspector. Inspector finally arrives 1 p.m. Chats socially with builders for hour. Okays work. Rain pours. Builders leave.

Friday....first good day of work. The whatchamacallits (floor beams/joists?) are all in place. Ready for flooring. I anticipate a good outcome.
