Gayle, THANK YOU! I am so grateful for the support! I need to buy appliances, light fixtures, fans. Tried to save $ but it sure complicates moving to have to plan and execute so I'm not camping in the house very long. How did you manage the timing of closing and then getting appliances?

The Gilchrist Building Commission met this morning at the crack of dawn:

It was led by no other than The Honorable Mayor himself with his "crew in tow":

Deficiencies were identified at Cheif Roses place:

And the committee wasn't sure if the bats in the attic and doberman foot prints in the concrete were on the plans??

When we brought out the Hounds, the bats scattered.

Oh . . . . by the way . . . . . they poured my slab and we had a ball this morning.

[CalcTeacher]

You guys are too much! So funny!

As we were the only ones who brought a torch, we were not able to throw much light on the subject matter in hand.

So His Worship the Mayor has (we think) decided to form a Faults, Lapses and Problems Solutions Sub-Committee (FLAPS), Chaired by Jimbo2012, with A4 as the Secratary, answerable to The Head of Administration Departments' Administration Assistant (who is very good at keeping people in check and preventing budget over-runs - well thats what it is called when she stops my pocket money)

The sheer volumne of problems on ChiefRose's and Kitty's builds spotted this morning after an in depth analysis of the plans by the Pre-dawn Early Risers Committee (PERC's), will be the subject of the FLAPS committees early focus, with A4's newly poured slab running a close third. - watch this space for further breaking news releases. ("Whats been broken? - Nothing yet you 'Wally', its just the way reporters speak - Oh, ok")

Wish you could be here Rona & Bill (and Linda & Rich) and everyone else who is up north freezing and shoveling.

Don't rub it in--it's been snowing up here for the last 4 days straight-we're tired of this white stuff! Jim is soooooooooo ready to pack up the rest of our boxes and head South with or without me! Have a few drinks to celebrate your slab and we'll be there soon.

Ok--"mayor" what's with the gloves? Did your blood thin already in the few months that you've missed the cold and snow? And ear muffs--I was planning to throw those all away--I want to start fresh without any reminders of winters from up north

I sure hope this overworked and underpaid committee called the builder to task to make the corrections (or was that overpaid and underworked). I can never keep those two straight. In any event I expect it to be corrected for my inspection on Wednesday! See you all tomorrow night.

A few of your HVAC ducts were crooked a bit but A-4 gave me a leg up and I straightened them out,

One of the workers I suppose, left a real nice Bose system in the attic, strange, again with the aid of the tall guy....A-4 I got it down and I posted it on ebay, we'll take to proceeds and have a pool party at your open house.

Andy and I studied you plans and see they made some of the stretches larger than they were supposed to be so Rusty reported it to the builder to make two walls smaller, it will be ok by the time U get here.

Oh were those your pet pythons in the pool?

Hey now....in my defense, it was freaking cold this morning...low 30's. It finally warmed up when the sun came out and I went back home to put on shorts! I will admit that my blood has thinned since moving to FL!

All of us except A-4 left after about 2 hours when the concrete hadn't arrived. I got home and had to walk Gracie. As we rounded the backside of Kilgore I heard the unmistakable sound of concrete trucks and thought that I was gonna have to call A-4 to come back to the lot. By the time I got there I saw that he had never left. A short time later, the others came back also after being summoned by A-4's emergency IM. So, we watched the slab being poured and then departed for our own abodes. A good time was had by all.
