All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go

Here is the view from the front door looking through the scaffolding for the new front entrance in the foreground and the scaffolding for the sitting room extension in the background with the debris all around.

Our contractor came by this morning. With bills to be paid. When asked when the work would resume, he said he'd spoken to the builder to let him know the scaffolding was now up, but the builder said he didn't think he could get a crew back on the job until Friday "if possible." These are words you don't like to hear when you are anxious to move forward. [Sigh.]

Hmmm. Do you suppose we could get away with telling the contractor we'll pay the bills by Friday "if possible"?

Oh well, it's cold and it's getting on to 4 o'clock. I'm going to go make soup.
