Waiting and Delays.. (Day 461)

That's the order of the days... and weeks, it seems.

Still waiting for some sub-trades to come back and correct their deficiencies. Still waiting for the builder's crew to come back and remedy the deficiencies they are responsibile for. The builder is waiting for the replacement doors to come in (won't be in until August) and the stone for the fireplace finishing (also anticipated in August).

The flooring guy is coming tomorrow to correct the levitating floor. It's a floating floor and was installed too tight. And I just discovered last week, it was installed with a slight skew to it, so it is not square to the house. Fortunately it isn't really obvious. I told the flooring guy that he can take off whatever trim he needs to, but it has to look exactly like it looks now -- which is pretty darn near perfect!

The landscaper who is installing the "armour wall" and stairs to the front and laundry room doors was supposed to start the "first or second week of July". Now it is the middle of next week which is the third week of July.

Needless to say we are exhausted from having trades people pop up at random moments with no obvious plan to get things completed.
