And The Waiting Continues......Part 2

Again another frustrating day with nothing going on.My dad had a chat with our contractor tonight and he told my dad he was finishing up a job out of town so he would be at that job for one more day.He told my dad he was waiting for the trusses anyway and that he couldn't do anything until they got here.This is supposed to happen either Thursday or Friday. This guarantee's that the rest of the week is a write-off.

I really don't know why he would not have ordered the trusses early if he need them for the floor? I guess that's besides the point now.

Also we need to get together with our contractor and discuss what kind of windows to order.We are supposed to do this Friday night.My dad was talking with our contractor friend who was in the business for 40 years, he told my dad that the windows could take 6-8 weeks to come in.....YIKES! Here is the thing though,when my dad was talking to our contractor tonight he told my dad he could have the windows here in 3 weeks.

Now who do we believe? 

A. A guy who has been dragging out this job for over a month?
B. A guy who has been a friend of the family for years and was a contractor for over 40 years? 

If we believe answer B to be right,  then that puts us into the middle of September before we even have any windows here,not good. Even if our contractor can get the windows here in 3 weeks that still puts us almost at the end of August.And who is to say when the windows do get here he even puts them in right away? He might start 3 or 4 jobs during this time!Then here we will be sitting in November with no windows in the new part of the house and all kinds of snow blowing in the house.

Ok, I exaggerated a little, but I might not be that far off. 

Here we sit waiting again for things to get going.My mom did ask him how long it would take him once he had everything to get done and of course he didn't really give her an answer.

It's nice to have my parents and my brother watching out for us and we are really going to need them next week when we are not around.Also our contractor friend who has been keeping up with the situation,when he stops over to visit my parents he always checks up on what's going on.We are glad that he feels the same way we do, that the job should not be taking this long.It is nice to know that we are just not over excited or something.

Right now the situation is what it is.There is not really anything we can do but just sit and wait and hope that things get done when they can get done.

I really just don't know what else to say.
