So I did call and guess what? Someone will be here tomorrow around 8 a.m. to put in the electricity. Plus two guys in a truck came over with a trailer and a load of gravel. Don't know why but they poured a big slab of concrete in October yet did not do the finishing edge so there was a 15 1/2 inch drop from the floor to the back lane. My neighbour piled a bunch of left over gravel on one side but half of the concrete still had an abrupt drop-off (if you can picture it?)

So once the electricity is installed then I guess the next thing will be to get the big double-size door and a remote so it can go up and down. He installed a back door facing the house and left a spot for a window but there is no window yet (???) What will they do? Just cut a hole and put the window in?

Yes...they will cut a hole where an opening is framed and installed the window at that time. Too, an "apron" can be formed and poured where you drive in and out of the garage, anywhere from a foot to four feet more or less, to ease the transition from outer surface level to interior of garage. Usually...it's the law here...a contractor needs to tell the customer what will be done...helps to explain what not will be done, too.

About 26F...right around zero on the Celsius scale. Still dark...sunrise isn't until 7:57 am e.s.t....sun sets at 5:19 pm. Didn't see any stars when I stepped outside a moment ago so we must have cloud cover. No snow. Frost on the deck railing...by feel...not sight.

I am, thank you! Have a lingering cough but the listless "I am just going to lay here til I die" crappy feeling is gone. :D Thanks for asking! :love:

You're most welcome!

Sounds like you had what my daughter did. She has the same lingering cough too. About two weeks now. Nothing major really just a pain in the A$$ for her! :confused:

The contract is between hubby and contractor which my husband signed and then promptly went up North, leaving me in the dark (as usual!) :concern:
