Stand by - we WILL move this week

This morning, we met our mortgage broker at the house to sign a few final papers. This converted our loan from a construction loan to a regular mortgage. We got there and these arrows were painted on the driveway. Our builder was very apologetic - the City, in its wisdom, decided that our front lawn needed a Sidewalk To Nowhere (since neither of our neighbors has one).
Here is the red tag the inspector left - see the middle line? "No sidewalk." Thanks, dude, you couldn't have mentioned that the same day you required the Bureaucracy Oak?
So, we called the movers and delayed everything for one day. We had planned to move on Wednesday, but everyone would have to slog through this mess:

They should pour the sidewalk and re-pour the driveway on Wednesday. The movers will have to leave their trucks on the street and bring everything in, but that's what they usually do, anyway. Look, they had to move the Bureaucracy Oak to make room for the sidewalk:

We're keeping a sense of humor - what else can we do? Lucky for us, the apartment is still ours for 12 days.
