I (like everybody else) just want the house to keep pushing along, so I can see it finished and move in! No down pipes installed yet. No mention on when that's going to be done. We are going to have a site meeting with SS next week as there is some (very minor) issue which is easer to discuses in person. Kitchen cabinets! Now that is more exciting than the evap cooling unit any day! Lol I'll check out the pics!

I would plan for September then you can only be surprised and happy! I thinking we will more likely be October. (I'll ask the SS when I talk to him in the next few days).
