glh's Journal: House Update

Things are running behind. Originally they were supposed to be wrapping up this week- now this week is next week. Things have been idle for a few days but they are hoping to work on it steady until it is done from today on. Today the builder is supposed to be out fixing our stairway, which is going to involve extending the wall by 6 inches. They basically made the steps about 6" too long. Adding the extra 6" to the wall was not something we wanted to do, but we figure at least the stairway is a little bigger and should still look nice. Extending the wall out will reduce the opening to about 7'6".

The worst thing about the delay is that I have to pay rental on our storage for the entire month of July. On the positive side, I'll have all of July to make sure they get it right. It's in my best interest to let them take their time- if they go past the 20th I get $1000. But realistically I don't think they will go that long.
