Thankfully Geo is a pretty nifty carpenter so as I type this I hear the hum of the saw as he begins work on my very-own-don't-you-dare-enter writing space. It only means a wall, which he can easily do, but we're going to install leadlight glass above so I don't feel too hemmed in. But with views of the Pacific Ocean, what more could I want?<br /><br />So the tradies don't start arriving for a few weeks--getting close to the Christmas deadline, but we trust these guys, so here's hoping!<br /><br />I'm sure if you have the wet areas done, Michael, you can move in and occupy! But I hate work going on around me, but at least you can keep an eagle eye on things. Those Chicago dudes sound like gangsters!<br /><br />Denise :-) Denise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002113089297135210.post-34999153772529772322015-11-05T18:48:23.354-06:002015-11-05T18:48:23.354-06:00Construction means nothing is on time, but you kno...Construction means nothing is on time, but you know that.

But like you said, it is what it is and so long as you can keep repeating that mantra, then all will be well. Not ideal but look at all you're doing. It will be fabulous when it's all finished and you will be so darn happy! That will be worth the headaches. Sending you good vibes for a seamless completion.

When we ...*Positive vibes* sent your way, Michael! When we moved to our new place last year, my husband and I too hired contractors to do work for us, and we were let down quite a bit. It felt that we got the red carpet treatment before we put down our deposit, and once we handed over our money, the red carpet magically vanished. It got extremely frustrating at times. Find out if you can get a discount of any sort for your troubles. It wouldn't hurt to ask.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00912167351889969855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002113089297135210.post-72094479510412856082015-11-04T19:01:25.654-06:002015-11-04T19:01:25.654-06:00How sad you have to watch them work to make sure t...How sad you have to watch them work to make sure they actually work.

However, instead of him showing up, he sent someone else, which disappointed us greatly. The new guy made some mistakes and the original guy had to come in and fix up the problems. Needless to say, we're not using him again.<br /><br />Hope you get your situation straightened out soon.Chemist Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738272332470397248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002113089297135210.post-57551949074730854752015-11-04T12:32:57.813-06:002015-11-04T12:32:57.813-06:00Sending positive vibes.
