18 months is a long time to carry a baby....

Finally...we have given birth! Now we just have to get through that difficult first month...or two.

What the heck is this blog about?!?

Selecting a concrete contractor and getting the contract signed, of course! Yes, it really did take 18 months of work...you just can’t imagine the amount of time we (ok, mostly Kerri, Susan, Spencer and Jim) spent researching contractors, discussing the options, doing more research, talking to more contractors, looking at more plans, discussing more options and then meeting and meeting and then meeting again.

Seriously, you can’t imagine.

If it helps you understand how much time and thought went into the process...we had a 3+ hour Board meeting just to decide between the three top contractors. And the conclusion at the end of the meeting was that we needed to meet again! Seriously. Not kidding. So we ALL met again, and everyone had a chance to meet the contractors and answer any remaining questions.

Finally...we delivered!!! The bid was awarded and work has already begun! Stay tuned to this Blog for further updates on our baby...
