Unbelievable

The only post to my last message was from a mortgage company!
So much has happened - not that anyone actually cares, but the house looks so totally different. Will try to post some pictures.
We fired the 1st contractor, F. John, for dragging his feet, and leaving us hanging up in the air (literally) for over 5 months, without a word. Turns out that he never even finished connecting us back to the new foundation. He just did the perimeter and an interior wall, but not all of the main supporting walls on our 3 story home. There are doors and cabinets that still don't work!
We love the new contractor, Pete! He and his crew are doing a fabulous job, AND, when I ask for something, they actually do it! Good ole' F.John fought with me every step of the way. He kept insisting that I really didn't want it done that way.
