I signed with a new contractor. The debris removal is nearly complete – then to set the rebar. Alas! The 10 day forecast calls for freezing overnight temperatures (way freezing…). My new contractor wants to pour next week, but I won’t let him. This time, we’re going to do things right.
Meanwhile, my old contractor should be served with a lawsuit within the next 10 days (I filed yesterday)… If, they can find him.

Great to see this garage coming! Can’t wait to see it
… and to sleep in it. This will be your (our) bed- and partyroom in July 
I take it that you’re staying at Chez Morton then!!! Plenty of bedrooms available…

Ok, I’ll leave the garage to the youngsters and I sign in for a bedroom

While waiting for warmer weather, we got 6" of snow! My new contractor was going to put plywood on the trenches, but never got around to it. I guess he was, er, busy… (sigh).
So I waited for the snow to pack, then today I jumped in the trenches and popped the snow out in chunks, and threw it into the middle of the yard. Then I chucked the chunks over the fence into the driveway. That way, there will be little melt to weaken the footings… And temperatures are supposed to get a lot milder this week. With any luck, the remaining snow will melt and we can do the pour by the end of the week; a cure over the weekend, and blockwork can start next week. Gawd, it’s about time! If only the weather cooperates, and my contractor too…
