No this is not a big day for any of the traditional reasons that someone might say it is a big day. I am not buying a house, having a child, getting a new car or going on vacation. This is the look of someone who is watching the Legendary Map Pack download onto his Xbox 360. So not only do I plan on playing those sometime during the day but my actual playing of them will be delayed by a Rock Band party tonight at church.

We are having an event for the high school kids who do not have a small group so kind of an outreach to church kids. It should be a lot of fun and I am still totally excited for it. I think some of my boys will be there and that would be amazing because they totally shred.

Work actually could be significant as well. I finally got the change order paperwork from the contractor after two weeks of hounding on a daily basis. I looked over them briefly and I am pretty sure that they included things that were already in the contract so I am bracing myself for having to tell them that after all this time and all of my clarification to make sure they did their job they really did not. I think that (my apologies if you are or are related to a contractor) contractors really have no business sense. They are great at the mechanical building and even good at the organization of that but when it comes to being accurate with numbers, holy crap has this been a nightmare of inaccuracies.

Maybe more later probably be a busy day. At least shots tomorrow of playing games.

So this morning I am doing a little drive by on the construction site. Not the bad kind, but the kind where you randomly drop in on the contractors and make sure that things are actually happening and are going to happen in the way that they are supposed to. Tony is a really great guy but right now it seems like his subcontractors are pushing him around. I have been waiting for three days for answers to some really simple questions that we need answered before we can make final decisions. The question “how big are the marble slabs that we are ordering?” should be a relatively simple one to answer. Or “how much does light A cost and how much does light B cost?”
All this being said I am hoping that these things, marble fabrication and overhead lighting choices do not set us back into the stone age on our timeline. cross your fingers. more later.
