Miscommunication and then some

2 weeks ago I was writing this post and I was pretty angry about a meeting that we had asked for with the GC and he "forgot" about it.  We originally had it scheduled for a Friday evening but he called because he had an emergency on another job and asked if we could reschedule for Sat.  Yes, of course.  We told him it needed to be before 3 as we had a meeting with the other land owners about our combined driveways and the repairs that are about to be made to them.  Long story short he " forgot" and we met up on Monday to discuss the issues we were having.  But I was fairly angry that he had " forgotten" and not impressed with his excuses and apologies...this is getting to be too much of a habit with him. 

At any rate we have moved on with that issue and have made more progress in the building.

We have another framer " Hobie" who is replacing some of the boards inside that got wet and warped.  He had to move an exterior wall out a few inches because it got wet and he has started putting on the tin.  

This tin will eventually be covered up with red, brown, beige and white sandstone.  

And then Hobie got started on the upper tin.

That yellow circle is where a picture window goes and it's back ordered.  Window is framed out on the inside and it's just easier since it isnt here yet to cover it with tin and cut it out once the window gets here.  

If that upper tin looks like its rusting then you are correct.  It is.  This is a 24 gauge steel that has been treated with a thin layer of a rust producing liquid.  Eventually the upper tin will be a very dark brown almost black looking rust.  It's supposed to do that.  We wanted our home to look like it's been there for years.  

Heres a close up.  

Anyway Hobie is very good at his job but he works a little slower than we'd like but since we know that we arent going to make our Thanksgiving deadline we are not going to stress about it anymore.  

Electrician is due this next week and maybe plumber.  

My microwave the last of the appliances arrived and I've ordered all my tile for the bathrooms.  Moving along at a snail's pace but moving nevertheless.
