    So glad I wasn't around when that concrete was still wet. I always have an urge to 'leave my mark' on wet concrete!!!! :oops:

    Things have certinly moved on a pace Dan and it's beginning to look really good. It looks as though the library is going to be double its size.

    We're about 1700 square feet right now, and this adds 1040 additional square feet.

    All your library patrons must be so excited, and interested in what is going on.
    Everything looks wonderful.

    The addition is painted inside and out now. They're trimming out thew doors and windows even as I type, and the carpet is supposed to go down tomorrow.

    The contractor is arguing with the painter right now. The painter wants more money.

    He already finished the job. He over-ordered supplies, paid his own workers too much, and wants the contractor to cover the difference. The contractor declined.

    Quite right too!! It's not the contractors fault the man can't run his end of things properly. Anyway he can use the surplus paint on another job I'm sure. As for paying his men too much - surely he knows what their hourly rate is if he gives them their wages. :rolleyes:
