Let the running around town BEGIN

So, the block guys are doing the block thing - confusion all around.  haha.

Where is the rebar sticking up from the footers?  Foundation guy supposed to do that.  Argh.  Foundation guy doesn't think he needed to.   Whatever, now have to go to Home Depot to rent a hammer drill to drill and put rebar in the footers.   Bought a bunch of rebar from 84 Lumber and then picked up several more 4 ft pieces from Home Depot again for the garage.   Annoying.

Then, the block guy tells me that we are 350 block short - so, I gotta call ACME and get more block.  The block won't show up until 11 AM.   But, I went to Home Depot and picked up 35 4' cap block for the short side (right side) so that we can anchor to the block on the wood seal.

Oh, btw, we also need about 100 'bolts' to bolt the seal - can you grab that @ lunch time?

Shae working her butt off getting quotes and getting good prices.   Met with the Jeldwin guy today, Witt is about to rock our world with a quote (measured trusses yesterday) and Volunteer waterproofing is quoting the waterproofing on the basement today.   It's wild.  Seriously, can't wait to get framing started.  We think we're good to go.

Oh, met this crazy concrete dude named "Al" yesterday ... wow.  That's all I gotta say.  Wow. We need to get him there soon to get the block filled and the basement poured.  He's a good guy.
