Oct 20/05Fairly good progress today. The roof framer and his crew came today to help out with completing the truss installation and the roof sheathing. Unfortunately, a lumber yard was supposed to deliver three lifts of plywood for the roof but didn't because they "ran out". So the roof framer & crew did what they could and then left because the sheathing wasn't delivered.
What's a lift of plywood? 60 sheets, which covers 1,920 square feet 32 square feet at a time...
We had a meeting at 5:15pm with John Finlayson, of New Look Windows, to discuss the issues with the missing grills in the windows and the incorrect doors. John is undertaking to correct the issues with the missing grills and door glass.
When we were talking with John, Charles showed up with the first lift of plywood in the back of his truck. It must be very helpful to be unflappable like Charles when you're in construction, because something is bound to go wrong somewhere. Personally, I would have been very upset with someone who committed to deliver something that was needed for your critical path, and then didn't. If Charles was upset he sure didn't show it.
