Last week (September 12-18, 2021) was unfortunately the slowest progress week to date. Gravel was spread under the new house deck location and some more asphalt was removed there as well. We also got our first plumber visit and a lot of action is happening that is not actual construction.
For example, we were able to get a visit from Door Systems of Worcester so that we could evaluate options and order a garage door. The bad news is that that door will take 3 months to arrive. COVID-19-related delays are a factor beyond anyone’s control.
This week should prove to be more active – Andy Cormier is back from vacation, so digging will recommence on the sewer line and the driveway. And much electrical work will be happening, with our service upgrade (needed for the new building demands and more) as well as some plumbing too.
Thanks for staying with me. I turned 59 this week, so I still believe that this project will get done before I turn 60!
Hope to show you all more next week!

Any progress is good progress Mark, as it’s all too easy to have weeks where nothing happens, look forward to seeing next weeks progress.
Hope you had a great birthday !

Thanks Mike, my encroaching gray eyebrows belie that though. No Inca (haven’t even started them). As for decor, I am in charge of function, Lynn is in charge of form, so my guess is definitely no 😅

Happy birthdady for this week Mark- hope you had a great time.
COVID has impacted the construction/ building industry here too- I was talking to my neighbour about it and they are seeing prices double.
Cheers,
Pete.
