Well the contractor promised to have the chimney finished yesterday and he was almost right. The winds were blowing at 40 MPH and the scaffolding was wavering so much that they had to cease the "erection". Although, in their defense, I will say that it is roof height, and near completion. They all left with smiles, promising to be back in the morning - if not to finish the chimney, then to build the fireplace (inside).
Last night, Mr. W. spent 3 hours dismantling the baseboard heat so it will be properly encased in the base of the new fireplace. He vacuumed for another hour after that - Was he worried about what the contractors would think if they saw some dust in the livingroom !!#%^&*??
I just called home to hear of the progress and guess what? There's no one at the house!! The "master" brick layer had a personal emergency - so all work is ceased until further notice.
I'm taking bets on when this project will be finished... 2 pounds from now? 5 pounds from now? 10 pounds? (see earlier post referencing Weight Watchers)
...and the drama continues
