at 8:30 in the morning i am meeting the appraiser at the house for the big showdown. everyone please keep your fingers and toes crossed that we come in where we need to.... and LOST comes back on tomorrow night, so there will be that, too.
robby and andrew worked super hard last night (until 10 or 10:30 in the rain) to finish getting the floor joists up. at the very end there was a big realization... the foundation is 1.5" off square. robby figured out that the masons pulled their corner mark out and then set their board on the wrong side of their mark (hence the precise 1.5" it is off). we'll live with it and hide it in the wall on the inside... but it sort of sucks knowing it's there. we could have the masons come back out and redo it, but that takes time... and time is something we don't have. but hopefully as of tomorrow (or friday), we will know how much money we'll have!
i'll post pics of the muddy boys working in the dark last night later... thanks again andrew! one night we'll eat something other than pizza... i promise.

1.5 inches???1.5 inches!!! Inches - not feet. . .I would have never figured that out ever - never - ever - really. I'm so proud of you and a little scared of you!

no.... you would notice this 1.5 inches. i promise! we only saw it with the floor joists in, and it was obvious that the one at the end was not parallel to the rim joist.
tolerance of around 1/8" is usually acceptable, but nothing is every perfect in construction.
