Wrong Rock

The plumbers have finished their work for now and the framers are at a stand still until the roof goes on the house. However, we can't put the roof on until the outside-rock arrives. After the rock arrives we can better select a color to paint the stucco on the dormers. The stucco has to be painted before the metal roof can go on....and so forth. Unfortunately, most of the rock quarry in San Antonio is under water due to all the recent rain. We concluded we would just have to wait on the quarry before we could move forward.
We went to the house after lunch today and found a pile of rock had been dropped off. We were so happy we could now move forward! Paul was so excited he jumped out of the truck before I could stop and park. By the time I met up with him he had noticed the quarry delivered the wrong color of rock.
Within an hour the masonry-man Pablo met us at the house and agreed this was definitely the wrong rock. It was too white and dark brown. We had selected a cream to yellow color rock from a sample Pablo gave us weeks ago. We decided the best thing to do is to drive out to the rock quarry in Kerrville this next week to select the rock color. We want to make sure the color of rock is right before we move forward.
