Patio Disappointment

We went out to the lake today and to our dismay, the bottom part of the patio had settled and it looks like we need to take about 1/3 of it apart and repack it again. It was so disappointing since we've already had to redo part of it because of the color mix-up, but I think because of the rain the ground naturally settled the part that we had brought the most fill in for. So, now the patio is back on our list of "to-do's". We're hoping that by bringing in more sand and repacking it again it will hold the next time since the rain already settled it once. We'll see!

On a brighter note, our cabinets arrived and look really nice. The framing inspection went well last week and the insulation inspection should happen Tuesday and then they can start sheetrocking. We are shooting for the weekend of October 6th we can start painting so we'll see how close they come. Two weeks is not a lot of time to sheetrock the whole house, plus our builder is doing the ceiling texturing, painting and wall primer at the same time. Today we had our paint mixed at Menards for the living room/dining room and our bedroom. Since they have vaulted ceilings our builder will paint those for us. It was exciting to buy the paint and think that in a few short weeks it will be on the walls!

No pictures this week, but next weekend I'm hoping to have sheetrock pictures. Have a good week!
