March 17, 2009 - There was a break in the rain yesterday, so the electricians came and put in the wiring that had to go in the gravel.  They also installed the canisters for our floor plus in the living room and atrium (it's starting to seem real, finally).  Now, Jimmy Abernathy, the concrete guy, and some of his crew are back to install the Styrofoam over the gravel.  I'll bet they had a lot of fun cutting around all of those pipes and wires.  It took them a couple of days to get all of the Styrofoam laid.....that's a LOT of pink!  After they finished....Don and Cricket did a "walk-through"....they gave it the okay...looks really good!

March 20, 2009 - Today, we met Scottie at the site to go over a few measurements for Kelly.  This is the final measurement information that will be taken before the manufacturer starts cranking out our panels.  Kelly has specified certain walls that need to be measured to ensure that we have the correct dimensions to give to Insulspan.  So, armed with Kelly's e-mail and our trusty measuring tape, we get started.  As always, Cricket has to get in on the action....he HATES tools!  We finish up with the measurements and give Kelly a call.....she's always good for a laugh or two.

Well...it's time to head home.  We are feeling good about everything....we're ready for the slab...the panels are headed to fabrication...in a little over a week our wall panels will be delivered.  Don's going to do a little "ciphering" when we get home.....little did we know that he would uncover a HUGE mistake!!
