Well, C&C Construction went off to Grand Cayman to help with the rebuilding of that island. In December 2004, they announced that they would not be returning to finish my house. Thankfully, in January 2005, Mr. Carvel McLean--a highly respected and excellent craftsman--graciously agreed to take over the construction. I will be forever grateful to him.
