draw a picture of things you see and do in Spring
Me: what are you drawing? C: a bed Me:...that doesn't fit the instructions C: I like to sleep. Me: in the Spring? C: all the time. Look, I'll even draw me sleeping in the bed. Me: that's something you do every day. This needs to be in Spring. C: FINE! I'll just turn it into a pool.

lahdeedah 2 years is crazy. Maybe you can find a hospital with a daycare to work at? That would be lovely. When the lady on the phone said 2 years I busted out laughing. She was like- yeah, I know, I’m sorry.

We found at the last minute the coach wanted to do a last minute practice since our games keep getting cancelled. We have two games this weekend and a good chance of rain for both. 🙄 He sent the message to the group me last night, but I missed it and Mh mentioned it 15 minutes before it started, so we high tailed it to the field.
Fun times.

Hi!! Permanent bridge is in and I didn’t need nitrous this time. She said I need to come back for other issues but told me to take some time to get use to the bridge.
Work is insane and next Thursday I get my first shot for Covid.
My mom arrives tonight. She’s helping out while we get ready to open. So I don’t have to rush to pickup L from school.

lahdeedah when do you hear back about the inspection? We met with our builder tonight. He was very receptive to all our ideas and seemed very down to earth. I asked what he anticipated for closing and he said 1 year. Our agent audibly gasped, I can only imagine the look on my face. He said that was worst case, but everything is so crazy right now, he can't guarantee any sooner. My lease is up in a year, so to avoid 2 potentially big purchases hitting my credit around the same time, I reached out to the dealership about trading my lease in now. Clearly I just feel like spending money.

They were supposed to be in on the 15th of this month, but they called last week and pushed it back to hopefully May. They couldn’t even give him an exact date. He and his family are staying in a fully furnished Airbnb that is $$$, so he was too not happy about having to push it back. ETA: she messaged earlier and said it was fine, just a few small things, but didn’t say exactly what. They want the foundation to be looked at tomorrow morning, so I’ll be out of the house again. My realtor said that really shouldn’t take long at all, so I’m thinking she’ll let us know after that.

Crap, yes, I see i didn't type right, but 1 year until our house could potentially be complete, from contract date. Which would be next March. He said with the shortage of materials and labor, things are so slow. But paperwork has been filed with his bank, the city for permits, and the surveying company, so its started. Sounds like a waiting game in the industry. I hope your foundation is fine. Have you ever noticed anything?

I think they want to look at the foundation because of the effervescent in the concrete floors. It’s where there are small cracks and has a discoloration. There’s a few areas of the floor that it is, but the inspector that did it when we bought said it’s normal and nothing you can do about it/not a problem. My realtor said they have to come inside the house for it, so that’s why I assume it’s that they want to check.

mwhip hope he is just being cautious and it won't take that long. When I was little we built two houses and everything always too longer...hence living in a hotel for 6 weeks when I was 4 and my dad moving into a short term rental for a few months.

mwhip I'm not surprised about the year. I would expect at least that. I remember my Il's new build taking forever because it kept being delayed due to the weather. Hopefully yours will be quicker.
