The Setback

When we began the whole 'house' process we mentally prepared ourselves to be held up by the different teams of contractors. All the home improvement shows warn of the rogue contractor that delays and sometimes ruins the whole process. However, we were not prepared for hold-ups caused by the supply company. The order for our windows and doors that we thought had been done a month ago, in fact had never been placed at all. Not only had they not been ordered, but the supply company is having some financial troubles, so they won't be ordered. We had to start from scratch with a whole new order from a whole new company. Now we'll have to wait three to four weeks. While we wait, piles of bricks and sand also wait in neat little piles.

You can kind of tell the color that house will be...
The electrician is getting started by installing the can lights.
This pile belongs to Mr. Heating&Cooling...
...he also got started the other day and installed the intake.
Future home of the washer and dryer.
While they also wait on windows and doors, The Fitzhugh's have started on Husband's storage building.
It is hard to believe that just a few months ago, this area was nothing but trees covered in briars and vines!
This was the street view from last Tuesday....
Check out the storage building now!
 We know that everything happens for a reason and are trying not to let this setback slow us down too much. While we're waiting to finish up the outside, there is still a lot that can be done on the inside. (Which is what I can't wait to start seeing!!!)
