One Year Ago

I never thought I would be still posting on this blog about how we are not yet finished! NEVER - in my wildest dreams. But, alas, here we are. Over a year ago (by about a week) and we still have a mud pit in the back yard and warped floors. The floor guys were scheduled to be here Monday - Wednesday this week to replace one entire room, since the "replace a small section" method failed so miserably. On Sunday, I started talking to the Guy about moving things out of the den. He refused because he said he didn't think the floor guys would show up. But, I said, BOBTHE BUILDER said they would be here and I'm going with that. I ended up only moving a few of the more fragile items. The floor guys can move the big stuff - not our job.

Well, apparently, not their job either, which means that the Guy was right. The floor guys did not show up! They did drop by about noon and said they would come today (Tuesday) and get it all finished in two days (with one of those days being the Wednesday before Thanksgiving). Yeah, RIGHT. We may be slow, but we are not stupid. That will never happen. The Guy asked them if the wood was acclimating in some indoor location (which was not done before and is one of the alleged reasons it warped in the first place). "Ummmmmmm. We haven't ordered the wood yet.". AH HA! It was never going to get done. Why do they pretend? It is just ridiculous.

Well, we are now rescheduled for Monday - Wednesday of next week. Hummmmmm. The Monday after a long weekend holiday. Wanna place bets???

Oh, and the landscaping is supposedly scheduled for that same Monday. Let's go for a two-fer. Any bets?????

Stay tuned to see if you won your bet. I'm betting the landscaping doesn't get done and that the floor guys show up around noon on Monday.
