Kathy,

Now wasn't that a peaceful time? Sipping a cup of bean in your new house?
be it completed or not, it is a great feeling isn't it? Regarding the time
of completion left? I'll mention three points.

A. This is not uncommon in contracting of homes as they usually build
several at one time to make the crews more efficient. And, even though it
is not your favorite thought to be delayed at all...

B. I'd let the contractor know you expect no more lolligagging, but I'd not
push continually as you may well be jeopardizing quality.   Being  a
roofing contractor for years I know if a customer were to continually push
for completion or just always be in the face, we'd wind up doing what we
could to get off that job and onto another. I'm not saying to let them get
away with delaying, but I'd let them know you are watching  and want it
done in a reasonable time slot. And thirdly...

C. Enjoy the journey. It isn't everyday you  have a home built and although
there is anxiety in getting into it, corral that anxiety and transform it
to a savoring of the day you walk in and all the furniture and etc is in
place and you will walk in the old one no more. The journey can also be
fun, which you seem to be making it from walking on the dirt piles to
sipping coffee in your new room.
