Department of Hope Springs Eternal -- Construction Industry Division

(Day Job)

We have a 'punch list' inspection scheduled for this afternoon for my project across the river, renovating an old double-house into transition apartments for chronic homeless clients of a local social service agency. In theory, the project will be almost complete. We'll be looking for bits and pieces that need finishing before the clients move in, with a completion and occupancy date of February 28.

"In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not."

The agency would _really_ like those apartments available. Some of the clients will lose their housing vouchers if they can't find a roof to rent.

Thirty years of construction industry experience suggests that we will find more than a week's worth of work in need of completion.

Added words to SIGNATURES, casualty count on the first explosion seems limited to one broken leg and a lot of ruined equipment. Fat Wizard hasn't learned about the second blast yet.
