Setback #1

I'm sure this is just the first of many setbacks we will encounter during the construction process -- and we've already dealt with several during the design, engineering, and permitting phases -- but it's particularly stressful because the builder found several areas of mold in the walls of the house. It didn't come as a huge surprise, since the house is over 80 years old and has had various water-related issues even during the 5 years we occupied it. But this particular issue will cost us time and money to resolve, and it's something that I consider to be far more serious than Josh does, which means he's not going to want to invest much in dealing with it. Ugh.
