The foreman said they would have a couple of more guys tomorrow and planned to get more walls erected.  They want to work on Saturday also to get ahead of the windy weather.  It&#8217;s exciting to see all the planning, changes and replanning finally coming together.  I&#8217;m pretty happy that we&#8217;re finally going to have a house.  We do need to get budget sorted out and figure out how much we&#8217;ll need beyond the proceeds from our house sale and how we finance that portion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I got a couple of appliance quotes for the kitchen today and DAMN they are expensive.  $40k.  I don&#8217;t think the rep is doing any work on discounts or trying to save us monies.  The best discount we got was $5k off $40k and that&#8217;s with no tariffs.  I think we can do better doing our own sourcing of appliances.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think we&#8217;re going to run into the same issue with the plumbing and fixtures &#8211; inflated prices.  We&#8217;re probably going to have to do our own sourcing and installation.  Not the best option, but nothing I haven&#8217;t done before.  We&#8217;ll figure this out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, tonight Jaret comes to stay the weekend with us before fire season takes him away until October.  He&#8217;s picking up some stuff and visiting Juni.  He&#8217;s also going to straighten out his motorcycle endorsements.  The Los Lunas DMV is awful, but that&#8217;s where he needs to go to get things cleared up with his license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tomorrow is more construction, Juni to the Vet and work on the Can-Am a bit.  Need to sync the lighted whips to the brakes and turn-signals.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Off to bed, it&#8217;s late.  I&#8217;ll leave the trailer unlocked for Jaret.  He should be here around 1:00am or so.  I&#8217;m sure the dogs will go off and everyone will be awake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enjoy the evening and tomorrow is another awesome day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pretty exciting day today.
