Today is Tuesday and -

Today is Tuesday and I vowed I would stay at camp and get some paperwork done AND do some laundry at the same time.

All I can say is it's a good thing that tomorrow is another day and I can try again...

I think I spent most of the morning on the phone trying to solve problems and put out small sparks before they turned into fires. We are a bit stymied on the building at this point. The inspector did not want to sign off on the structure of House #4 because the windows were not yet in (even though he hasn't required that on the first three houses). We can't put the windows in until they arrive... It turns out they are not in stock, they are custom built only when ordered due to the requirement that one pane of the double pane glass has to be tempered glass. So we are waiting -- hopefully Ken can pick them up the middle of next week.

House 2 is done to the point that we are just waiting for the fire sprinkler people to finish their job, the propane to be hooked up, and the water tank filled.

House 3 needs a few finishing touches (medicine cabinet hung, porch light installed, etc.) and the rug will be laid tomorrow afternoon. We discovered today that while the water tanks had been delivered, they had never been hooked up and there is no fire hydrant installed.

The roofing crew at House 4 has been getting up early to put on shingles before it gets too hot. They've only been able to work until about ten AM.

Because of the lack of work on MDS projects, a big part of our crew was out today with San Diego Volunteers, a group that does land clean-up and clearing for elderly and disabled people post the fires. Most of the crew will be out with them again tomorrow.

I did end up going with Forry to deliver under floor insulation to House 3 this afternoon -- a good thing because as we were looking it over thinking ahead to the upcoming needed fire marshal inspection (required before the final), we discovered the water tank and hydrant issue.

Tomorrow WILL be a better day!
