Day 204:Wishful Thinking

Well Thursday it appeared that our contractor had taken all measures to complete the home on September 27th as we lined out after our discussions on Wednesday. However, it appears that maybe it was only wishful thinking as the reminder of the week unfolded.

Friday, only one crew arrived to install the stone and Saturday only one individual was installing stone. Let's see the home next door took three days to install the stone and now we are only 75% percent complete after three days.



The painter did correct the wood stain with a glazing which looks good and we are much more pleased with the outcome now.




Friday, the wood floor recieved it's final finishing which precluded a lot of work from happening.

Our electrical work continues at a turtle's pace. Hmm, what is it with electrican's, I can't get away from there lack of progress whether it's building a $80 millino water treatment plant or building my home. We are maybe 95% percent complete on the main level but still have all of the basement to complete. To top it all off, we noticed that we have one nickel plated fixture instead of the brush bronze that it throughout the house everywhere else. Hmm, you'd think that they would stop and ask a question: "Could this be right?" At least we know that the fire alarm works since it has a dead battery all ready and has been beeping all weekend.

Our home has its' offical address as you can see now in the picture of the stone face on the house and the finishing touches are starting to pull together that we are excited and anixous to move in and become settled in our new dream home. I just hope that this dream doesn't go on for an eternity.
