Well one step forwards, two steps back it seems.

Outside walls went up.

Then they came back down because of high winds. Oh and broke.... To say I was unhappy with the builder was an understatement. Sucks even more when you're 10k miles away and can only talk over the phone to him.

And he put them back up already I guess. Oh they're supported good now. Well they're calling for 60mph winds today so I guess we'll find out! Screw it, I'm getting drunk...

****! I am sorry too hear that. I had a couple complaints about the work my house contractor did. So I talked to him. He had good reason why he did what he did for the one thing. The other thing he redid. He said he wants me to be happy with everything and be proud of my house. Why can't they all be that way?

Ehh, this will all be fixed. I'm not losing too much sleep over it. When I was younger I would've been flying off the handle. It just makes me shake my head. Why wouldn't you brace them more knowing it was going to be another week before the roof joists went on?
