Longer waiting for house

So, The Lady was filling out a form to get some sort of ''first home-buyers'' rebate from the government. One of the blanks asked for the expected completion date of the house, so she called the site supervisor.

We already knew that the building industry basically shuts down for the holidays, from mid-Dec. to early/mid-January -- good unions, I suppose. What we hadn't thought of, until the site supervisor pointed it out, is that the shipping and supplies folks **also** shut down for that period. So, even when the workers are back and ready to go, there's often a delay as the ''supply lines'' from the various manufacturers start back up.

So: End of March, probably.

Hm. That's a bit longer than we were hoping for. On the other hand, it probably matches up better with my Dissertation completion date. It'll be good to not be feeling guilty about ''not working on my Dissertation'', as we spend a week moving our stuff into the new house.

One way or another, these things tend to work out. Work out in a beneficial way, that is.
