The logs are coming, the logs are coming.

We almost have the paper work done.  The old guy meets with the County on Friday afternoon for the building permit.  Then the work work may begin. 

Dave, the contractor, is supposed to be contacting the excavator and the block layer. These are the next steps, apparently.  The old guy will probably finally be able to line out the house on the hill so he can see if it is where he wants it to be.  He is so excited. This will make him very happy.  Once lined out and digging is scheduled, we can have the "ground breaking".  And then the adventure will begin.
The logs are due for delivery the last week of August.  This may be too soon and we may need a few more weeks to be ready for them.  They have indicated they will hold them for awhile for us if we are not quite ready.

The old guy is home for a week or so for now. The team goes up again on Monday, I think, but  they do not anticipate being called until late next week at the earliest.  Then, again, this is purely dependent on the weather. He may end up going much sooner or not at all.  'Tis the way that stuff works.

The next week will be very busy here, as has the last.  Funeral Friday, grad party Saturday.  Today is grandaughter Emily's birthday.  Next week is mine, our wedding annivesary, a good friends birthday,  one of my favorite nieces birthday and a great nephew's also. Our next door neighbor has a birthday this month and they share our wedding anniversary.  Other family memebers also have birthdays and anniversaris this month.  I believe it is now our second busiest month, after February.  I remember when I was little, the only birthday in August was mine.  How things change. 

Oh, well.  Off to do the pack laundry so he can get it all loaded up for the next run and then off to work for the evening for me. Maybe we will have news regarding digging and block before the evening is over.  That would be nice.
