Week 27 Saturday

October 11 2014

So we pulled everyone off the job on Friday, had the place all cleaned up ready for the concrete overlay sub, but did he show up?  Of course not.  By 9 I called to see what time he would be arriving.  Oh, forgot to tell me that he hadn't finished his other job yet.  Meanwhile I had asked the other two owners if it would be possible for them to work through the weekend, to which they graciously said yes.  He swears he will start on Sunday but then told me it would take 7 to 9 days to complete.  He had previously said 5.  Meanwhile I have scheduled, cabinet delivery, appliance delivery, marble measure, etc. and now I have to call all of them and re-schedule.  The frustrations of all jobs.  Everyone is so busy right now and when something happens on another job it really pushes everything else back.  And you wonder why it takes so long to get anything done.

I've ordered all the tile, but of course it can't be delivered until the overlay is done.  Now I have to delay this delivery.  This is going to be the new look of the living room fireplace.

Anyway, Blue Angels are flying today and tomorrow and we have a fabulous view from the apt we are renting.  The family will be gathering to see the action.  I think our two little boys will be beside themselves.

Stay tuned and watch the transformation.  If you want a hint of it's future look at my Pinterest posts.  http://www.pinterest.com/jdzinesf/hyde-street-penthouse/
