Everytime it rains, it rains - 03/31/06


The record rainfalls for March didn't help the construction process: it rained 25 of 31 days in March. The driveway is poured, the sewer is connected and we have a gas meter. Most of the electrical finish work and finish plumbing is completed. The decking is well under way, all of the appliances are in, and the marble installation is completed.
