I can finally mark four things totally complete! The propane is in and hooked up, AND the in-floor radiant heat is turned on, not leaking, and they're increasing the heat in order to not crack the cement...AAAAND...PUD hooked up the permanent electricity (complete with meter, of course) and the electricians installed lights and everything!! It looks amazing, especially at night! Yes. These are in fact the first four things after all this time, and while PUD was finished a little earlier, all in one week!
Patrick is at this very moment prepping the inside walls for doggy safe, clear wood sealant for the lower eight feet of the kennel walls. I need to figure out new, more visible signs for the street. The actual kennels should be arriving in the coming days, and next week the appliances will be here, the final cement pour should be complete with the sunny weather that we are supposed to be getting, perhaps the septic and drain-field will be done, maybe the driveway topped off and made all pretty, and the fencing should be at least nearly finished. We're really getting there! Although I feel like I'm just asking for it when I say things like that. Can't help it, just getting too excited about completion.
We need to wait for the fire system people, who dropped the ball completely, to finish installing the fire alarm system. They said sometime around January 2nd or 3rd. But if they have a cancellation they might come earlier.
After that we just need final inspections and the occupancy permit.

On another note, we've switched cell phone carriers and purchased new phones. My new phone is a Google Pixel 2 and not only does it take excellent pictures, easily, (not that I do, but it really helps a lot!), it also receives phone calls when people call, lets them leave messages, leaves their number on the call log for missed calls, doesn't drop calls, and the biggest relief: I don't have to mash the phone against my ear to hear people. I know, these things are mostly what a cell phone is supposed to do, but amazingly my old phone, which wasn't that old, was extremely bad at the phone part. I hate to think how many calls I missed. So look forward to more pictures of the dogs playing and maybe some things that get in there just because I have a new phone with a cool new camera on it that works. Now I just have to force myself to create a new outgoing message.
