It has been very cool (not cold) and rainy most of the week. Mike finished up on Tuesday and assured us that the lumber yard would pick up the surplus lumber either Tuesday or Wednesday. It is now Friday and no one has shown up. I called Mike this morning and he was surprised. He called me back a little later in the morning and said they will be here Monday. I asked Mike what happened to the 2x12 board that was in the garage on Tuesday. It was 15' long and a very nice, untreated piece of lumber. I asked Mike if we could return that since I had no immediate plans to use it. Instead, Mike used about 2 feet of it to move the garage attic stairs and then loaded the remaining 12'-13' onto his truck and took it home. I asked Mike when I talked with him today about what happened to the board. He admitted it was behind his garage. I told him we wanted it returned. He said he would do so.
At least we got the door stops installed, the spa deck board replaced and the attic ladder re-re-installed. Also the electrical discrepancies were addressed.
The pond lost about 1/2" over Tuesday night and another 1/2" Wednesday night. On Thursday, I installed a tape measure so we could actually quantify the losses. I also sent John photos of the Junipers on the east side of the chess board. They seem to show a lot of dead branches.
This morning (Friday), we had lost another 1/4" of water. I sent John a note asking him to call us and explain the path forward. John called and told me that he has arranged for a different company to come out on Sunday to look at the pond with the potential for taking on the task to fix it. I was very relieved and told John I was contemplating a similar move.
