The Labor has begun on my House

[Chili]

Well, as it turned out, the crane wasen't available until next Tuesday morning at 7am. I'm so glad I had a chance to calm down and not say something that might have put a rift between my contractor and myself. When he called me back, I was eating lunch with Bob Lamont and Theo at a restaurant in Keaau. So instead of putting my foot in my mouth, I told him what a great job it looked like they were doing and asked when he would be back on the job. That's when he told me the crane was the problem why they hadn't gotten the roof up, but that it was going to be there Tuesday morning to raise the roof joists. For all of us out here who know very little of all the workings of erecting a house, this is turning out to be quite the eye-opener. And the suggestion of checking the plumb and squareness of the house is an excellent idea. I'll be going back up this weekend to do this. Meamwhile, here are the photos of the framed walls inside and outside of the house. http://new.photos.yahoo.com/hilochili
I think I won't be quite so quick to rush to judgement in the future on this project. I'm finding that what I don't know about building a house could fill volumes. Besides, no matter how long this takes, or how many setbacks it incurs, down the road awaits our dream coming true. I think I'll just slow back down and lighten up and go with the flow. "Merrie Christmas Everyone" From our family to yours,

We get out of life......What we put into it
