Last week we had a few people lined up to come in and do their thing. We were all excited and expected to see some good progress. Sounds great, right?
Well nobody showed up. (Hence my lack of posting last week)
Ok that's a bit of a lie. the mudders and tapers showed up on Friday but I am not sure what they did all day because everything in the house looks the same. The sewer guy and the water meter guy were both no-shows.
They have been rescheduled to come this week. Today is a holiday so no workers today which means a 4 day work week. We have 4 days for 6 guys (or crews depending on what we're talking about here) to show up. I am not holding my breath.
If by some miracle they all show up here's what will be done on the house:
- More drywall mudding and taping. This is going to take until the end of the month at least.
- Basement electrical work will be done
- Basement plumbing will be done (or least up to the point that we can drywall down there)
- Water meter and pressure tank installed (Hello water! and shower!!)
- Sewer work
- Basement ductwork
- Basement drywall hopefully started
The Husband and I are working on prepping the garage slab this week too so that our mechanical guy can run the in-floor heating in there sooner rather than later. The slab prep is the only thing I can guarantee that we'll see some progress on. Well that and the electrical work, I love our electrician. I need to bake him a cake. He's awesome.
If any of the rough-in work (electrical, mechanical, plumbing) is delayed this week it's going to cause us a pretty big headache. If we can get the RIs done by the end of this week the drywallers can board the basement and keeping mudding the whole house all at once so that we don't have all the upper floors done and then wait for them to come back and finish the basement later on. If we end up doing the basement later we can still continue on with the upper floors. It would just be so much easier to be done with drywall in the house and then we/our painter can paint (we haven't decided what's what with the painting yet) the whole house at once.
Let's all cross our fingers and hope that everyone shows up this week!
Ew. No shows would make me so mad! I hope everything goes well this week!
ReplyDeleteNo show contractors would be so frustrating. Hello don't you want a job?? At least they are rescheduled to come this week!
ReplyDeleteHow annoying. You should totally bake your electrician a cake and be loud about it to the other slacker contractors. "Oh yeah, I just whipped up a cake for Jerry the electrician. He's such a harder worker. So dependable." This is something I would most definitely do. B doesn't call me the queen of passive agressiveness for nothing.
