New house skirting

Inching .... inching.... inching.... slowly, but surely... today the skirting went on around the bottom of our house.. Tomorrow perhaps the steps will be built to access front and back doors. Pray in that direction please.

All around the house is a sea of mud. We need to find someone soon to deliver a couple loads of gravel/stone to give us some way to get out or in.

The telephone was installed yesterday, but the line is not buried yet. We do have a phone number for anyone interested, but since we can't answer a phone that isn't there yet, there's not much point.
We are going to talk to another guy on Monday about a water filter , so there is no water hooked up yet either.
And of course, there is that final inspection by the township that gives us an occupancy permit- without it, we can't live there at all.
Slow moving so it seems..
