Well this is the 30th post of this blog and the house is defiantly not as far along as we were hoping.It has made for a lot of difficult writing trying to figure what to post on here when nothing is happening day after day.But somehow I seem to manage.Although most of the time it turns into me bitching......
And that's not why I started the blog!!
I started it because I thought it would be fun to document and keep track of the progress that the house was going through.To me it seemed like it would be a fun thing to do and also for our family who are living out of town, they could keep track of what was going on as well.
So to the people who think I started this blog so I could slam our contractor at every chance I had,that's not why I am doing this.I think this fact needs to be pointed out.This is why I don't use his name when I am posting.The people who know us, know who the contractor is, so I just leave it at that.
I don't want people to get the wrong idea about the blog,but when things are not going along as we think they(and many others around us)should,then I just come on here and post what we are feeling.
That's it.
I don't mean it to be a bitchfest or anything like that.And I am not trying to drag someones name through the mud,again that's why I don't use his name.But people know us,they drive by the house to see how things are going,we have neighbours who see our house looking the same, day after day and nobody around working on it.They all know who the contractor is,so he is only hurting himself by bouncing from job to job while we sit on hold.
Also now add to the fact that our neighbour was over at our place Monday giving the gears to our contractor about the way the house looks and how long it is taking.Now this guy has everyone from my dad,brother,neighbour and other contractors giving him crap for the amount of time he is taking to complete this job.
The thing that worries me, is that he is going to think we have everybody after him on his back and he could then turn around and start adding extra charges, on top of what is all ready a large amount of money that we are spending.Of course that is just my paranoia coming through.
Ok enough of that.
We did meet with our contractor on Friday and we have got the windows,siding and shingles all sorted out.He also said that he would make the front door for us wider and make that front window a little bigger to try to even things out.This would be happening instead of us getting rid of that front door and going through all of that.
Also the trusses were supposed to be delivered on Friday and they were not,so he said he was going to look into that to see what happened there.
Things are set to get rolling tomorrow and with us being out of town now awaiting the arrival of the baby,I'm going to have to get updates from my parents as to the progress(if any)this week.
I have my mom on picture duty until I get back next week, then I will be able to post some pictures of what happened this week,if anything.
Here is hoping this week is a good one!
