Our basement got water in it again this week. I would say "Flooded," but there is a very negative connotation with that word. There was about an inch to an inch and a half of water covering over half of the basement floor. They haven't backfilled yet, so water just comes right in. It's getting old, and our FM said he was calling the excavators today. We really hope this gets taken care of STAT.
We went to install our dishwasher this weekend and the end of our cabinet wall was not attached to anything. So that made husband go on a tirade and I think he's finally calmed down. All of this AFTER we discovered the drywallers dinged up one of our doors and walked on our new carpet in muddy shoes so we had to sweep & spray the brown stains on our new carpet. Thanks, jerks. Even our kids know their shoes get left at the door!
Painters & Carpenters are supposed to be there today tying up loose ends. I'm not sure if the cleaning lady is coming today or not, but I kind of hope she waits until tomorrow to clean up after everyone else.
We are contemplating holding off closing until every single thing is fixed in our house and outside, including the rough grade and second broken counter that won't be here until 2/12. Since we've cleaned a wet basement going on three times, we really don't want to take any risks.
Can you say anticlimactic? All of the excitement that we should be experiencing has been replaced with disappointment and exhaustion.
This is awful. My husband has been reading your updates as well and he said if it was us he certainly wouldn't sign any closing papers until every single thing was fixed and as perfect as it could get. It has been two steps forward and ten steps backward for you. I sure hope this is the last of your setbacks.
ReplyDeleteWe are thinking & feeling the same way and actually put off blogging this weekend because it would have been bad news bears.
ReplyDeleteThat’s true. A flooded basement floor is never a good sight. And it’s too bad that you had to clean it up repeatedly. I hope that was the last of that problem, so you could move forward on the closing and other important things.
