Heard from the contractor today. The concrete guy cannot get a load of concrete over here until Monday morning, so nothing will happen until then. Business is still slow for the concrete people, and he has to wait until he has a couple of jobs to mix up a batch, so I expected this delay.
On a happier note, we've decided to get rid of our 22 year old early American style dining room set (the chairs need refinishing, which is nearly as expensive as buying a new set) and have decided upon this Urban Craftsman set. The table is 96 inches long with the leaf in, so it will seat 10 and even 12 people, just right for big family gatherings. The buffet and hutch are HUGE--six inches wider than our current one and quite a bit taller. There will be no storing of baskets and such on top of this big mother--I can't reach the top at all! Lots more storage, too, and the chairs have padded leather seats. Very sensible. We'll donate or sell the old set so we don't have to store it, and have the new one delivered when the remodel is complete. We're such practical impractical people.
