Episode 12: No News is NOT Good News

For the past week, progress has ranged from slight to non-existent.  Phil, mostly working alone, put in a couple half days and worked on the porch, as well as a few rows of tile. I was out of town on Wednesday, but had been assured that work would be done all day Wednesday. I left the key for Greg the Builder in a designated spot.  When we returned Thursday evening, nothing had been touched.  I called Greg on Friday and he told me that nothing would be done until Monday, that his crew did not show up on Wednesday. Yes, I can understand that the construction firm is also working on two other jobs that I know of and I am very, very pleased that they have work in this economy.  I can also understand that people want some holiday fun, but my patience is wearing thin. This project is now a month behind schedule. My kitchen is a cluttered mess. The studio is unheated and now that colder weather has set in, our boiler is running non-stop. I am eager to move on and move in!
