We've got a leak

So builder man didn't show on Wednesday.  Turns out there was nothing more he could do until the inspection was completed and the next supply of material arrives.
We passed muster on the framing inspection late Wednesday afternoon and that message was relayed to builder man.
He showed up on Thursday morning with the insulation man in tow so that chore could be assessed.  Insulation man will be here on Saturday to get that job done!
Inspection of the insulation has now been booked for Monday morning so the drywalling can be started (that's not going to happen overnight!).  Presumably, the drywall material will also be delivered some time before Monday.
Builder man also figured out how to deal with what will be my pantry when this project is finished so he framed the door for that yesterday.  And in doing so, he noticed that the ceiling was leaking.
On the left is the framed pantry -- very much smaller than what I used to have -- and you can see the bucket that was placed to catch the water from the leaking ceiling.  On the right, the holes he punched to find the source of the leak. Builder man will be fixing that too (the costs just keep going up ...)
I'm not sure what's in store for today, if anything.  I see that builder man called twice yesterday and missed us, (his second call came in too late -- gotta call early to catch this household) but he didn't leave a message.  Not quite clear on what he thinks voice-mail is for?
I guess our phone will be ringing around 8:30am today ...
