Hold Your Houses

Nothing is happening in the new house. Progress has stopped. It's been over three weeks since anything visible happened. Well, OK, one thing changed: they've stacked drywall sheets in each room. So I assume that's going to start soon. I hope it does. But I hope they put in the ethernet, cable and speaker wires like I asked, first.

Cabinets and countertops have been selected and ordered. Mrs is breaking her brain trying to pick out light fixtures. I'd help, but our tastes are different enough that my participation just makes the job even harder.

They haven't started heating, or AC; they haven't dug the wells; the haven't cut down the trees for the solar stuff; they haven't done a lot. And this is making me doubt if we'll be in by Thanksgiving or not. Last month, the builder seemed confident that it would happen. But looking back at the timeline for our current house, and knowing how fast that builder builds does things vs how fast the new builder does things, I'm pretty sure it's not going to happen. This time, last house, the drywall was done, the floor was done, trim carpentry was in progress, driveway was done, cabinets were days from being installed. Nah gun hapn.
