One of many good things that we can say about Ideal Building is that they are NEVER late. In fact they are usually early - who ever heard of contractors being EARLY? Knowing this, we got up early and had breakfast and Gary had hoped to shower before Robert arrived at 8am. But no, Robert was here at 7:45am. So Gary went out in his pajamas but luckily I had showered and was ready for the day. Robert was here to meet with the electrician and Gary wanted to be here too as we are hoping to coordinate laying new comcast cable lines at the same time and in the same trench that has to be dug across the driveway.

I had to leave at 8:30am to get my Harley down to the dealership for an oil change, so I left the guys to talk shop. When I got home everyone was gone and things had gone well. We were now waiting for Bill from Ideal Building to arrive to prep the site for the concrete. Everything was going according to schedule so we felt good about that. We talked a bit about how the garage was going to be framed etc before Gary had to take off for an appointment.

I decided to run some errands (including a stop at 'Tails of the City - Doggie Day Care' where Abbey and Lucy will hang out once the remodeling moves inside). When I came home, the concrete trucks were in the driveway and the work had started. By 4:00pm, the trucks had left and Bill was here to clean up the concrete along with Travis. Another guy from the concrete company was supposed to return later to power wash the driveway of all concrete residue but he never showed back up.

It's exciting to see this start to take form...
