Very true Bob and I'm starting to realize all of that.
By next year at this time I'll be more involved in the land and season
process.
My brother and I installed the supply and waste plumbing lines today, a

They're supposed to pour the slab on monday.
I'll believe it when I see it.
These folx are dismally slow around here.
They do real good work, but man.
I'm from the land where everything is done at 200 mph all the time.
