Are the Jonas Bros in concert here or what?

It was another Mobscene this morning on Beachway Drive.

Sorry no pix, 'cause...nuttin's finished. Dale the tile-guy from Outer-Darkness Virginia, is almost finished with the backsplash he needs only to grout now. He usually arrives around 8am.

All three Commonwealth guys were there this morning, Alan, Steve and Tim. Alan said that our schedule is dependent on Hawkins Electric finishing things so they can do their finishing work.

Hawkins Electric, Electical Savant, John, is apparently on a commercial job. So in his stead, Hawkins sent an older gent that appears to be from central casting, sub-category "Scary Old White Dudes". You know, the ones that run the gas stations that the hapless teenagers stumble upon in the slasher-genre movies, usually found lurking in dark corners only to be illuminated by flashes of lightning? Yep, thats him. He's got sun-damaged tattoos, chain-smokes and was wearing a "Chucky" (queue ominous strings) T-Shirt. I kid not. Steve said "He's a cantankerous old, ....er...., guy, but he'll do a good job for us." Steve has not led us astray, I'll believe him. JOHN! COME BACK! SAVE US FROM THE SCARY OLD WHITE DUDE!

As we were leaving the guys from the plumbing contractor arrived. They will be finishing the plumbing in the Powder room, hooking up the sink, and attaching the gas line to the cooktop.

Tim is still working on the deck. It should be the sturdiest deck in all of Christendom when he's done.

Lot's going on, so little time left before the 31st. Here's the deal. M and I have scheduled the movers for the 31st, that date is not set in stone and can be moved, we may in fact move it to the following week, just to give ourselves some wiggle room. The date that isn't moveable is the 12th of August. This is the date that we MUST close on or be required to started the loan process all over again. All work must be completed before the 12th, including the punch list. The Punch List is the this of things we want them to fix after they've finished. When they finish, we have 48-hours to compile this list and submit it to them. This items on this list must be completed before the 12th.

fingers-xed.

S'all for now,
