It's Never Easy

Well, the big week has come and gone. The septic guy came on Monday and Tuesday and installed a new float in the first tank. That didn't work as the pipes still rattle. They tried some other things on Wednesday and we think they finally found out how to fix the problem (again). Haven't seen or heard from them since.......

The floor guys came on Wednesday (ah, I remember "construction time" - were supposed to be here between 8:30 and 9:00 but arrived at 10:00) Spent until about 4 or so, including lunch, and only replaced a section about two feet by six feet. At this rate, they will be totally finished by next June. Especially since they told me that they would work on our floor when they didn't have anything else to do. Supposed to come on Thursday around 10 - didn't show up at all. Came Friday morning and picked up their tools to take to another job site. Think we're a priority?????

Bottom line on the floor, some of the new joints are raised, the wood doesn't totally match and it has a different finish. Oh, and there are gouge marks in some of the surrounding boards. Well, THIS experiment did not work. Back to the drawing board. Fortunately, Bob is still very committed to getting it finished soon and properly.

Landscaping is unbelievably frustrating. Not done at all with continuous promises to get it finished. I'm ready to sue them.......

Good news - the weather is BEAUTIFUL and the dog is getting slightly better!

Stay tuned.
