Rain, Rain Go Away

Just a quick update. We haven't gotten much done on the house because of all the dern rain. I am hoping it will dry out enough this week that they can pour the slab sometime this week. The power company finally came out today and set our poles and we now have electricity, about time as we have been waiting for almost 2 months for them to come! Funny story about that. I went by the electric company's office the other day in Sheridan and, of course, all the men were sitting on their hind ends shootin the breeze when I walked in. They know who I am because I have and Adam has been in there several times trying to light a fire under them. Well, I walked in and asked when they thought they might get my power supply to my building site as my carpenter is going to need it before long. On gentleman was very kind and said they had to have a special rig to drive out in the cutover and they would get it by Monday or Tuesday, this was last week by the way. I said, "Good deal". Well this big ol guy sitting next to him had to open his trap and this is the statement he made to me. "You know what you can do to help us out while you are waiting for us?" I said, "What's that?" He says, " Get you a shop vac and go out there and suck up all that water for us." I just looked at him and said "Hum, well, you have to have electricity to run a shop vac don't you?" And needless to say I had the last say in that one. Hope ya'll had a good weekend. Maybe by next weekend I will have some pictures of some boards going up.
