Rain, rain, go away.

Well, the rain has slowed us down a bit, but not much. The plumber was not scheduled until next week, but because of the rain he couldn't work somewhere else, and came to our place instead. The A/C is in, the plumber is through for now, and the electrician is coming next week (my uncle :-)). The roofers couldn't work in the rain, and neither could the bricklayer, but both should be able to do something tomorrow, even if it is not until the afternoon. The bricklayer will work on the fireplace, and the metal roof will be installed. The stone for the front of the house will not be in for a few weeks (backorder) and the metal for the sides of the house will be a few weeks out as well. We are hoping to be able to stain the concrete floors the first of Thanksgiving week, cover them, and be ready for insulation as soon as Thanksgiving is over. That means sheetrock the first or second week of December. After that, Wyatt will take vacation time and be off for about 3 weeks while he builds cabinets and starts trim work, and we will both begin painting. We are painting the house ourselves, as well as other stuff.

Meanwhile, we will travel to Del Rio over Thanksgiving weekend to visit my Dad's ranch, and hunt some, and in general get some R&R. The first week of December my classes will be over for the fall, and I am looking forward to some much needed time off. Then it's back to the grindstone in January.
More this weekend,
