I wouldn't count on it, though - seems something always happens to throw off the schedule, like a lot of rain for example. Still, even if they don't hit May, you should still be in your new house soon after.Jennette Marie Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992037939637425401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917316172488329464.post-38338378219830305482018-03-02T11:55:09.043-05:002018-03-02T11:55:09.043-05:00Alex - I hope the Penguins get their stuff straigh...Alex - I hope the Penguins get their stuff straightened out soon. I want them to win all the time! Unrealistic, I know, but it is what I want. :)<br /><br />Jeff - Haha about the airlines. Kind of reminds me of Scotty from Star Trek. He always gave Capt Kirk a long timeframe and then would get it done earlier and look like a hero!<br /><br />Maria - The good thing is that we aren't paying anything until it's finished and we close. The last time we had to pay installments as the work got finished. Whenever they wanted money, they would finish up to the next phase. What a pain. Glad we're not doing that this year, and it is motivation for them to finish sooner rather than later. They'll want their money!Stacy McKitrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898731847653710759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917316172488329464.post-79535199260225949122018-03-02T10:59:28.221-05:002018-03-02T10:59:28.221-05:00I wish you the very best luck with your builder. I...I wish you the very best luck with your builder. I've heard so many horror stories from my friends that I'd be hard-pressed to have a house built for me unless the contract was very detailed.<br /><br />We know the trades so we'd be way more picky than the average home buyer.<br /><br />Still, if your builder thinks he can have your house finished by May, it's all good. The one bit of advice I've picked up from my friends is that they physically go out and check the progress of the building. <br /><br />They've found that workers sometimes fudge to make the work go faster.<br /><br />Here's hoping you'll have a bright, new house to come home to after your cruise.Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917316172488329464.post-60051813570822855472018-03-02T07:20:05.760-05:002018-03-02T07:20:05.760-05:00I am just thankful that, on a night where our goal...I am just thankful that, on a night where our goalie was not at his best, your goalies were a lot worse. Looking at the way the Metro division has been going this year, a few more games like that and the Pens will be out of the playoff picture--it's crazy over there this year.<br /><br />I heard a story recently that airlines had changed their schedules, pushing scheduled arrival times fifteen or thirty minutes back, even though the flight time is the same. This makes it look like they're early. Maybe that's what your builder is doing. Hope they finish fast!JeffOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947660745120963286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917316172488329464.post-72072579666135258672018-03-02T06:29:04.139-05:002018-03-02T06:29:04.139-05:00Builders finishing way ahead of schedule - is it a...Builders finishing way ahead of schedule - is it a sign of the apocalypse? <br />Penguins did suck.
