Day 800: Solar project begins

It didn't start out well.  The crew didn't show up till nearly 11:00.  Of course, they were coming from Rochester and one of their trucks broke down on the thruway.  But does anyone use a phone anymore?

We didn't want the project to begin today.  We asked for April.  But no, they had to start today.  The first job? Dig a trench 10 feet long from the garage to the house right through my lily garden.  Two feet deep and a foot wide.  Oh, and go under the sidewalk.  Through ground that is frozen solid.  It took them five hours to dig that trench.  They never even got to the roof.  It was a beautiful day and they could have accomplished a great deal.  Now, they will still be working on the roof when winter storm Vulcan strikes.

As Steve says, PPP.   Or piss poor planning.  That's Lisa's fault, not the guys.  She's the project manager and she will be getting an earful.

A wonderful sign of spring!  Daffodil sprouts in the back garden!  

The trench digging underway!
