Porch Renovation II

Monday, October 10 was another summer day, inspite of the calendar indicating we should be experiencing 20-degrees cooler temperatures. Our builder arrived at 8:15 AM and staked out the foot-print of the new wing plus powder room. He left 40-minutes later, saying he needed to check on the dumpster pick-up and order lumber. I must admit, I was disappointed that he wasn’t making hay while the weather was so favorable for out-door working.
Tuesday was a good weatherday, except the forecast predicted heavy rains. The builder and his mason decided to wait for more favorable weather. It did down-pour during the night, but Wednesday and Thursday were good for digging and pouring the foundation; however, the forecasted sprinkiles, that never materialized, prevented the men from showing up. I’m beginning to wonder if a snow flake is predicted, will construction halt?
Friday, October 14 dawned with light rain, so I don’t expect any progress on our 3-season room. But wait, maybe calling it a 3-season room means that it will take 3 seasons to get it built.
