Sequence of follow ups on concrete blocks delivery since Jan 2023.23rd Jan: First follow up response - concrete blocks will take time since it's the slowest part. 24th Feb: Second follow up response - still waiting on block delivery schedule from the vendor.21st Mar: Third follow up response - vendor said they will have a batch of deliveries going out next week. 28th Mar: Fourth follow up - haven't heard back.6th Apr: Fifth follow up - haven't heard back.
