Change of plans

About halfway through the home building process things changed dramatically.  Our builder, Dave, became very ill and was diagnosed with liver cancer.  Our worries about our house were replaced by worries about our friend and his family.  Fortunately, after lots of tests, it was determined that the cancer hadn't spread.  Chemotherapy and radiation were necessary to treat the cancer until ultimately a liver transplant would cure him.  Dave recommended another builder in town, Jake, to carry on with the home building.  We already knew Jake fairly well and knew he was a good builder, so we felt comfortable with him taking over the process.  It was awesome to work with Dave, and hope he will build something else for us after he gets through with all of his treatments.  So far, he has managed his treatments extremely well and the outlook is very good that he will get a liver transplant in the near future.
