I just heard a possible reason for the delay in my new house. Apparently future neighbors have overheard some fussing. This may be just gossip, or misunderstood eavesdropping, but ...
... they can't get the power on. It's hooked up, everything is installed, there's an account with the power company, etc. etc., but they throw the switch and nothing happens, and nobody can figure out why.
Duh?
If true, that makes it a little difficult, I guess, to use power tools to do the finish work.

Did someone buy a cow? Were you in Saint Louis for the epic good weather power outage that took us off the grid because someone buried a cow in Chesterfield?
Just one house, so maybe someone buried a cat?
Actually, "cat" could be the clue. Daughter has commented on the huge diggy machine that keeps crossing the front yard - over the buried water, septic, and, ahah!, electric connections.
