DAY 31 - WHEN THE CATS AWAY....

...THE MICE WILL PLAY!!

Okay, that's what it kind of feels like right now. We are in the home stretch with the contractor. He was suppossedly going to finish up this week. However, nobody is home during the day this week (kids are with Grandparents and cousins all week and we are at work). Seems to me that the work is going really slow the last few days and it makes me wonder how long they are actually working each day. Oh well, I'm not paying them by the hour. Just want to get the yard cleaned up and that monster of a dumpster off my driveway!!!

So, here's what was done yesterday. They did a minor amount of cleanup in the yard. What really gets me though is that I came home and in the dumpster were at least 3 full bags of unused cement (useless now as the bags ripped open) and a bunch of concrete block. What a waste and WE PAID FOR IT!!! I grabbed some block out and put up a note saying to save all unused building materials going forward.

Other than the minor clean-up, they did a little bit of sideing on the back (around the window in the new bathroom).



Here's what still needs done:
1) Re-do the roof on the existing addition to match the new shingles.
2) Put siding up on the remaining portions of the new addition.
3) Replace siding all around the house.
4) Replace all gutters.
5) Replace all sofit and facia.
6) Remove dental molding on front of house and replace with siding.
7) Fix the issues with the gutter they have already put up.
8) Clean-up the yard.
9) Re-seed the side and back of the yard.

How they expect to get this done today and tomorrow is beyond me, seeing as how the work seems to be dragging out this week.
