December 3rd, 2008




Regarding the ongoing carport/patio saga...Concrete trucks cancelled because all inspectors and bosses were in a meeting this morning and so no one could come by to OK the pouring of concrete until 11am. Too late for today...concrete trucks tomorrow. So it looks like there will be a carport building party on Saturday. It will be a "Triple Plum" event (Dann, Ryan & Jason). Quatro (Roger) is scheduled to show up about noon with lunch. Other than the fact that us Plums love to do anything together, it seems like a total waste of time and money. No doubt there will be stories to tell. If someone ends up falling off the roof, I won't be surprised. Today we finished installing the interior doors, and all the moulding that goes around each door. I ran back and forth to the saw, cutting pieces to size and Dann handled the nail gun. An angel in a tool belt showed up mid morning to help with the baseboards. Tom Barnes to the rescue! What a friend. We went from weary to way happy in a matter of hours. He is a perfectionist and happy to do the trickiest parts of the job. Well, happy might be more what we feel when he agrees to tackle it. Tomorrow, the concrete. Thinking of letting Micah walk barefoot all the way across it!
