Please accept this letter as we are requesting a time extension to get the septic project to get done,so
we do not lose or forfeit our 2000.00 deposit check. At this time, it will not be able to be done by April
30"by Charles Friedman Excavating,who we have chosen. Due to inclement weather, his jobs have
gotten pushed back by a few days and our tentative week of April 261h,2021 has since gotten pushed
back as well. Chuck himself has asked us to ask for more time to get this done as he has said to us that
he will not be able to complete this at this time now by April 301h,2021 due to weather pushing back his
other jobs and not enough guys,as he is shorthanded right now as well and does not want to rush and
get our job done,or others.
Chuck states that he will have the job done by the end of May 2021 for us.
Thank You,
Nicole&Joseph Pickering
