Another cancelled inspection

The city cancelled our garage slab inspection for Monday and they don't inspect on Tuesday so that puts us out until Wednesday for an inspection. A few days doesn't sound like much of a delay but when you look at it against a schedule of people and equipment, it is frustrating.

The stump is gone and space modules

The stump grinder guy was at the property Friday and ground down/dug out the stump from the maple tree that grew on the property line between us and our neighbors. He also got rid of stumps along our North property line (that is left in this photo) so our Utilities can come in. We passed our inspection and have back fill. I'll see it in person today and take more photos to post.

When I first asked Jay what those round cement things are, he told me they were space modules. Sounded reasonable to me. They take up space and provide support? But, when he heard me repeat the words as I do when I want to remember exactly so I can post the information to this blog...our space modules are in!... he realized he should tell me the truth - that he doesn't know what they are called.

Backfill and waiting

I was away for the weekend with the women of our family for our 30th annual Women's Weekend. Jay and Annie went to the property to see the progress. Looks like we have some back fill! But, now we are waiting again...the city can't get there to inspect until Wednesday.

forms off

Mill Pond Cottage October 8, 2014
Today, late afternoon, Jay decided to drive out to the lake to work on lily pad removal. Annie and I went along. The forms are off the foundation and it looks very beautiful. Utilities and back filling comes next.
