Hurry up and wait

On Friday, framing began. And stopped. We went to eat tex-mex with our friends, as we usually do on Friday nights. "Let's go over for a look!" We got there about 7:45pm and a crew was hard at work. We snapped pictures like mad. They had done all this in about 3 and a half hours:


The house we're building will be like the one pictured below (that big house? for two people? Yes, it's what they do in our neighborhood). See the front door there in the middle, with the stone around it? That is going to be right under the Big Tree Limb Of Contention. As we watched the framers, we thought Yes! It will fit!


About 8pm, as the light was fading, the framers pulled that part into position. Uh-oh. It doesn't fit, after all. Called the construction foreman, he called the framers, and work stopped.

We're having a meeting with the Powers That Be on Monday at noon, see what they're going to do. Please send a good thought for us!
