I know how you feel about the rain delays! I felt like our dig delay was forever, but things will work out. Our dig, Rebar, stub out, and Gunite were all done with at least sprinkle rains. And we keep having rain delays. At this rate, my Gunite shell will be filled with rain water before time for the plaster!
And after the gunite, you'll appreciate the rain! Hang in there! Suz.
