Yesterday when I got home from work, K had great news! It had been pouring rain yesterday, so she had a rain day at work at around noon. She called the inspector again about our concrete form, and said 'Hey, I know it's last-minute, but I'll be at home today if you can come by.' And it turns out that the inspector could!
It was also a good thing that K was home when the inspector came by because she (the inspector), had questions about our lot. Since it's such a weird shape, she wasn't expecting the markers to be where they are. But K was there to point them all out to her and they got the inspection done quick and easy!
So now back to bids from concrete crews. A few months back, when we were optimistic about the project going quickly, K had posted an ad on Craigslist and got a handful of good responses. This was a few months back, however, and concrete companies are busier in the summer. Now that it's late fall, her new ad got a flood of responses and the bids were much lower! She'll probably save at least a couple hundred dollars having the slab poured now, versus in the summer. That's comforting, considering how frustrated and apprehensive this project has made her feel.
She's hoping to line someone up for Friday, so we very well could have a slab done by next week!
