Two steps forward, one step back

The first floor decking is done. There are 4 walls amd you can see where the windows and doors will be. It is beginning to look like a house. We have a few good things like the walls are up and they look good. We will not be having a masonary chimney. Not enough footer for it. We have about 10 inches and needed at least 12. So, back to the original plan. The basment plumbing is done and inspected. Now the basement floor can be poured. This is to be completed today, I understand. The last of the supplies are being delivered tomorrow morning. Between 7 and 11 AM. It is my day off and the old guy is working. Guess who gets to be there... Yup, me. I will be fine. More time to knit or stitch or read. Down side, no bathroom. Then there were a couple of oopsies. The plumber got stuck in the septic system. He was looking in the wrong rear view mirror? and talking on his phone and backed right in. Ooopsie. At least we know that AAA can get up the hill. Then there was the person in the construction crew that backed the big piece of equipment into the garage wall. Poundage wins. The wall came down. Again, oopsie. AAA was not able to help here. The blocklayers will be coming back a little sooner than originally planned. Things are moving along pretty quickly. Much faster than I anticipated. I am beginning to wonder if Christmas in the new house might, maybe, be possible. We will see, now, won't we?
