Today's work was cancelled due to rain. Lots of rain. But hopefully this is a one-day event and the crew will be back on-site Wednesday morning to finish the roof and start knocking brick off the current structure so we can attach the new structure to the old one. All I know is that it might be a very chilly week or so between the time they knock the bricks off the backside of our house, including our current bedroom, and the time they finish attaching the addition, install insulation, and put in the drywall.
Knowing the rain was on the way today, my contractor called me late last week to ask if it was okay for the workers to work last weekend. They had made great progress last Thursday and Friday, so I was excited they were going to keep the momentum going and send work over the weekend. On Saturday, however, that only involved one worker swapping out some incorrectly ordered wood for the correct lumber...and that was it. A couple of guys came over Sunday to lay drainage pipes and backfill with gravel and dirt, which wasn't the toughest of jobs, but needed to happen before it rained again. In the meantime, the backyard became a mudpit once again as the tracks of the front-loader decimated any remaining grass that was still around. After two inches of rain today, it looks even worse.
I dream of green grass again someday. On the bright side, when this project is all said and done, we pretty much get to start with a clean slate in the backyard, so maybe I can actually plant some grass to mow next spring instead of just mowing weeds as I do every other year.
