At this rate it will never be done!

Nearly a month since the last post and it doesn't look that much different. The foundations have yet to be completed. Nothing at all has changed in the last week. Although, I am told the next nice day, it will be done. On the barn, the sub-floor dirt work is done and the in-floor heating system is installed. The forms are all ready for the final pour.

On the office, the forms are done and the in-floor plumbing has been installed, although it was just discovered today that the toilet vent as currently installed will interfere with the bathroom window.

The first wood shipment has arrived and it is sitting out on the ground in front of the foundation (not in picture). They covered it with plastic, but not well and it is getting wet. The wood arrived last Thursday, two weeks after I paid for it.

I have to say this project is getting a bit depressing. I could really use the barn for an upcoming project but it won't be ready in time. And, it looks like we are going to have to rent a storage space to handle stuff that we need to eventually put in the new structures.

On an optimistic note, if all goes well, framing could start next week. But I guess I am not particularly optimistic.
