Monday, November 30, 2009 - High and Dry

As you have learned from my blog, October 2009 was the second-wettest October on record in Nashville. Conversely, November 2009 was the second-driest November in Nashville history. In fact, it was heading toward being the driest November on record until one-third of an inch of rain fell on November 29. With as much rain as we had in October, we were happy to see so many dry, sunny days in November. But one thing led to another, and although progress was made, it seems as if just as much progress was made during the wet month as their was made in the dry month. The last couple of days of November, however, have been more active than the rest of the month. Concrete has been poured and today saw the delivery of all of the wood to be used for framing. Hopefully the first week of December will bring completion of the drainage work, backfilling the foundation, and the start of framing. With rain on the way for Wednesday (maybe more than an inch) and some freezing temperatures the rest of the week (rain /sleet mix on Thursday morning???), let's hope for a productive Tuesday.
