Construction Delay, Part I

We are in constant contact with our builder these days as we finalize specs and plans on our retirement dream home.  Ground was to be broken March 30th.  However, the architect revealed today that said ground breaking may be delayed as the septic permit has yet to be received.  As such, we appear to be experiencing our first construction delay!  And, I have my first part in a series of what will undoubtedly become many posts on construction delays!!!
