More Rain Delays

We decided not to go out to the lake this weekend because not much has happened with all this rain! Steve said that they do have all the drain tile put in and approved and about half of it has been back filled. They are hoping Monday they can finish back filling and then Steve can put the deck (the top of the basement) on so that at least on the basement side it will be completely covered so they can lay the cement floor. He is being optimistic and saying that the rain helps to really settle the land so we won't have a lot of shifting later on, but of course we don't like delays! It has been raining all weekend so I'm not sure if they will be able to back fill or not but we'll keep you in the loop.

Also - more wildlife news :) Apparently there is a 27 inch snapping turtle that really liked all the piles of dirt around the lot and looked like she might try and lay eggs in them. So, Steve had to move a bunch of the piles in hopes that she finds another place to nest. Personally I don't like the idea of having little snapping turtles all over our lot and the lake, but I know they are just part of nature!

Well, more to come later and if they do get some work done this week we will definitely go out next weekend and take some pictures of the progress to post.
