West Coast Insulation sent us their bid for the fireplace today. Unfortu- nately it was 50% more than the quote we got from the Four Seasons Remodeling Center. The West Coast quote did include the venting ducts, though. We're just not sure if it also includes the installation, which would make it the better deal.

The carpenters from KC Construction continued their work on the first floor framing. They started putting in the Simpson Strong Walls.

The city inspector came by and took a look at the rebar piers. He signed off on them, so Brad can go ahead and pour the piers now.

By the mid afternoon, it was starting to sprinkle. The weather report calls for a 30-40% chance of rain over the next day and a half. Ugh.
