The dilemma

Today was frustrating, indeed.  We had scheduled a modular home set for today.   Nothing terribly out of the ordinary, other than the fact that our client would have had to leave yesterday at noon to come up from Connecticut.  The weather looked iffy at best in Lake Placid, where the home will be located.  I looked at wptz.com- not looking good, so I went to weather.com for a second opinion- stilll not liking the results so let's give accuweather.com a try- no better.

This went on all weekend into yesterday morning.  Until I had to make the call.  If it had been a local customer we wouldn't have had to make the judgment call until about 6am today.

So, deep breath and one last look at the weather- and then the call.  It is not looking promising.  We need to reschedule.  We all know that if one of the "isolated thunderstorms" came over while the home was wide open to the elements it would have been a disaster. 

Last evening, horrific weather- my friend emailed me pictures from her mom's in Cliff Haven.  It looked like a war zone.  Boy, I felt we made the right call. 

Then today came.  I don't know for sure because I was in Plattsburgh, but at least here the weather was fine.  Not a great day, but good enough.

I still do feel that we made the right decision given the facts we had at the time, but weather is fickle.  I would rather err on the side of caution, especially since both our set company and the crane were available on Thursday of this week.

So the fun and excitement of set day was only postponed by two days, and the potential for ruined drywall was averted, but truth be told I would have been happier had it rained today.

On the other hand, if we had gone ahead with the set as planned, it would have poured for sure :)
