Slow Motion!

I spoke with Sheldon this morning, since it seems that none of the items Ken said would be done have gotten done this week. Here is some info:

Electrician - was supposed to be there Tuesday, but missed this - busy on something else. Then was supposed to be there Thursday and did not show. Sheldon thinks he will be there today (Fri) . I told him I want to talk with him so I want to know he will be there today.

Tiles - said the tiles for boys bath are in garage, but they are waiting on the tiles for master bathroom. They are not in yet.

Masons - cannot come until we get the remaining tiles.

Floors - he said once these guys are in, they are in the house for 2 days and nothing else can get done. So, they are trying to get tiles and electric done first. They will probably not be there this weekend. So, we have time before we pick stain. Sheldon did say if we want to pick a stain, if these are in Ken's office, he can open the door for us.

Painters - will not do anything until floors are done.

Railing - they are backed up - will not get rails till end of next week.

Basement water - someone will be there today to remove remaining water.

Missed First Scheduled Item for Week!

Frustrating! Heard from my wife this afternoon and it looks like the electricians never made it to the house. This was the first scheduled date we had on our list since we met with GC and expressed the importance of hitting these scheduled dates. And, the GC is away in Florida for the week.

OK - this may not be terrible. Hopefully, the electricians show up some time in the week and we get that done and this does not affect the other scheduling. But still, its frustrating to see large project managed as loosely as it is.

Also, spoke to my wife just now, and she said the GC's office called and our next payment is due. I think if nothing gets done in the next day or so, we will try to hold off the payment.

Scheduling, Scheduling!

We met with GC on Sunday and walked through the house and discussed what is left and what will happen when. My biggest concern is managing the final work to be done, to really try to keep close to schedule, since we are now about 4 to 6 weeks away (hopefully!) from completion. So, we have the following scheduled:

Tue 10/18 - electrician scheduled to install fixtures, remaing outlets and switches, etc (he will be back at least once more after this)

Thu 10/20 - Tiles scheduled to be installed by masons

Sat 10/22 - into following week - floor guys scheduled for sanding, staining, etc

* By Thursday we need to have chosen stain color

10/26 - 28 - Painters will finish work - they will give second and final coat to walls, touch up ceilings, finish remaining molding, etc

10/18 - 10/23 - sometime during week - the railings are to be installed
