Thursday before CO


Once more, a bevy of activity. Landscape guys STILL working. Moved the relocated palm tree three feet away from the house. One of the new palms needs to be moved as well. Most of the grass is down, but not all. Wonder what's up with that.

Railing is completed around the deck and patio, but it is unfinished. The railing guy, who was in a foul mood all day, said we had to take it down to finish and paint it. I think he is just not accustomed to making something work. He would have preferred to just delay the entire job because his railing wasn't finished when he said it would be. HA. He didn't know how determined the Guy was to get a CO.

Deck is pretty much finished. I guess the sprinkler still hits the steps, but it appears that this will just have to be the way it is because, otherwise, there is not full coverage on the grass.

The wine cellar was painted so the racking can go in Saturday. We finally found someone who will install it for us and not charge an arm and a leg!

The cleaners spent most of the day cleaning. I kinda felt sorry for them on how dirty the jacuzzi tub was since it has been sitting in storage for 5 years. However, they got it clean!

Unfortunately, we found a problem when the protective cover came off of the floors. About 90% of the seams had popped up. Check out the photo. Unbelievable.

Bobthebuilder totally agrees that this is not acceptable. We have requested a meeting with the rep for the manufacturer. The floor guy claims that this is a phenomenon known as "greenhouse" effect because the floors are too humid and once the humidity is taken out of the house by the a/c, the problem will go away. Odd. The a/c has been on for about 2 weeks and we have had no rain in our area for over a week. It's about as low Florida humidity as you can get for this time of year. Bob says he has used this same floor in other houses (on lakes) and has never had this problem.

Good news is that the inspection has been called in and should take place tomorrow. Wish us luck!
