The finish carpenters started on June 11th.
By lunch time,
they had organized a work space,
set up their tools and started installing the tongue and
groove ceiling in the Great Room
(see right).
They finished that before the week was out and started
installing doors.
The painters finished with the upstairs –
at least until they return to repair the inevitable dings
that will happen as work continues.
The stucco crew finally showed up on June 12 –
after a 3 week absence.
They worked on the 12th and 13th,
but left at lunch time on the 14th when there was a short
sprinkle.
They supposedly work 10-hour days Monday through Thursday,
so they did not come on Friday the 15th.
Monday the 18th was a fine day,
but they could not work because they were waiting for stucco
mix to be delivered from Butte
(one wonders why the amount of mix needed could not be
predicted to avoid this).
After that,
one person has been showing up;
apparently his coworker was fired.
This lone workman has managed to keep stucco off the
critical path so far.
