Putting our Ducts in a Row

Well I apologize that it has been so long since I have blogged. My camera broke before we moved over to my parents house and I have been using theirs. But they went down to Arizona for over a week and took the camera with them. So I have been cameraless.

Well we have had some progress on the house. The roofers put on the tar paper that helps weather proof the house. And just in time since we had a lot of rain the week that they did it.

Our Heating and Air conditioning people have started to run their ducts. We have been a little frustrated with them since they have had staffing issues and haven't been able to move on our project as fast as we would have liked, but they are doing a good job when they show up.

Our friend that is doing the plumbing and electrical has been working like mad to install all the piping. It looks like he has re-decorated our house in red and blue (hot and cold). It has been exciting to see how much work goes in behind the walls, that you never see.

The only thing dampening the excitement is that we received a lien letter from the concrete company that poured our footings and foundation. Well what happened is that we paid the construction company (Wolverine Construction) for doing the demolition work and the footings and foundation but they did not pay the supplier concrete company for the concrete. Come to find out Wolverine Construction has filed for bankruptcy. Luckily they have changed the laws recently and if you fall under certain rules you can have the lien removed. One of those requirements is to have a signed contract which we have. We cannot begin to tell my friend Deveri how much we appreciate the information that she passed onto us before we started this project. We fill very blessed that we followed her advice and will hopefully have this lien stuff behind us soon. We have our attorney notified if we need him, but we are hoping to have this sorted out without too much help. I know we could never come up with another $10,000 to pay off the concrete company when we had already paid for it.
