Despite more bad weather and very cold temperatures, the roof panels were placed and some trim work was done. And then we learned that it's all coming down. There was mistake in the first-floor framing. Estridge caught the error, not us, and we're glad that they did because I'm not sure we would have caught it until much, much later in the process when it could very well have been too late to correct.
While disappointed that we'll be delayed by a few weeks, I think Don and I are both handling the situation better than I would have guessed a few months ago. We're absolutely excited to be able to move in and really make this house ours, but we also recognize that we've put in months and months of planning (and saving!) to make this house exactly how we want it and we want it done correctly. Estridge does, too. In the grand scheme of things, a few extra weeks is a small price to pay. We're grateful that Estridge is shouldering the expense of taking our house apart, bringing in more lumber, and putting it back together again.
I can only imagine what the neighbors will think when they notice the house coming down over the next few days!
