Nov. 13 - Appliances arrived today

Our major appliances were delivered today but not without some drama. They were delivered in a semi which had to back down our driveway. The doors had to be removed from the refrigerator before it could be squeezed through the front door.  Keep that in mind if you ever order buy of the new big refrigerators. We have an issue with some creases/dents on one side of the frig but we have accepted it with the expectation that there will be some future compensation for accepting it in that condition. The front of the unit is fine. The delivery guys were very good and conscientious. The dents were not their fault.

The final state electrical inspection was completed today. And, two installers from Ottumwa completed the granite counter/vanity for our lower bathroom. The lady we hired to do window and door painting showed up to paint a little more. And, Larry worked all afternoon and into the evening on the tile backsplash in the kitchen.

We had a real traffic jam through the middle of the day with the semi blocking the drive and all these folks trying to get their work done.

Tom is back for one more day of work tomorrow and then he is planning to be done with his work on our house. He'll be hooking up all the appliances among other things tomorrow.

Tomorrow morning I'm having a couple loads of gravel delivered and spread out in front of the cement driveway and up the hill. Hopefully, their won't be too much work for me if the driver does a good job spreading it out. He's the same guys that has delivered gravel here all summer. We'll see how much shoveling I'll need to do.

Our furniture and all the other stuff we had in storage for the past year+ will be arriving on Thursday.
