A sample of what went on this week. Monday the paint and stain guy shows up for us to choose a stain. He WAS supposed to be here on Friday prior so we could choose and then they would start in Monday but nooooo. So they did start staining on Tuesday Morning and finished up trim boards on Wednesday. Mind you these painting people start at around 7:30 but are gone around 2:30. It's just the way it is. Thursday we had rain so I didnt expect them to be back because all of the staining and finishing is going on outside. No biggie but Friday was gorgeous and they were no shows. I was hoping that they would be putting that sealing coat on and by Monday the trim guys could start in on the trim. Not happening. Then the trim guy was supposed to be here on Thursday to talk about the layout of my pantry. Bob and I worked on a plan to make the best use of the space and so I was ready so he could begin laying it out and cutting boards so they could be clear coated. But he didnt show. And last but not least and the one that makes me most angry was Kerby the Plummer was supposed to be here from Wednesday on to put in my tub ( should of been done six months ago), put all fixtures on tub and showers, hook up hot water heaters and install the whole house filter. On Wednesday they put on the fixtures to the tub only ( a five minute job and I could of done it and saved them a trip). Thursday the excuse was that it was raining and he didnt want to mess up my floor. Well, where he would be walking would be covered by paper still so for just that reason that doesn't wash in my book. Friday the Supervisor for the GC told me they would be there. By 1:30pm I texted him and asked if they were on their way. Apparently they decided not to come...they meaning Kerby and his driver. Kerby had a mini stroke about 2 months ago while driving and so the company has another sub O.G. who is an electrician driving him and helping him. But they'd be here Monday morning. So I texted back and told the supervisor that if the cabinet people come on Monday and want to set that cabinet first, I'm not stopping them. If that cabinet is set then the limited space Kerby has to work in will be even more limited and if he screws up the tub then I will hold him personally responsible. He will find another tub to fit that space( not easy to do and it has to be the correct color). I'm fed up and angry because we have become the red headed step children. For those not familiar with that Texas saying, it means that somehow we have become persona non grata. Nobody gives a shit if this house ever gets finished and nobody is doing anything differently to make sure we make that date of June 1st.
Oh and to just top off the week I found a leak in the bathroom. Dont know if you can see it in this picture but that is not a shadow around the top of the light fixture. That is moisture. When I went up to the attic to look I couldn't find where it was coming from but it's been going on a while because the sheetrock above has mold on it. Someone will be here Monday morning to check it out...yeah, right....
