Snow one

Snow one came yesterday which was actually a good thing for many reasons, safety being number one. We don't really know what to expect at the moment, which also may be a good thing so we aren't consistently disappointed. What I do know is this: 

1. The trim carpenters have been AWOL for weeks. We are missing our 3rd porch column and need our kitchen floor braced so it doesn't feel and sound like an earthquake every time someone is in the kitchen. I am not sure if this is a common Montgomery Plan issue, or if it's because our island bracing had to be cut to accommodate our HVAC. We don't really care why. We just want it fixed. 

2. Our window is still broken over the bath. WH wants to close with the contingency that they will fix this in the spring. November. NOVEMBER people! I don't know any job in really life that you can put off addressing for 4 months and potentially longer and think it's not a big deal. Except for Anderson Silverline Windows and their partnership with Wayne Homes. 

3. Our countertop isn't in and our island isn't finished. We don't really want to put our things away only to have the counter ripped off and a big mess mad in/on our dishes and kitchen stuff. 

4. The 5ft seam on the great room wall needs painted (so the entire wall actually gets painted...eeek)   still as do a few other places in the house. The caulking right behind our sink is messy and not smooth (it actually had a few areas where there are spikes). I don't think the same person this did the caulking the first time when it looked great did it this time. 

5. Our garage door is dinged in two areas. I'm pretty sure I watched the super careless Carter 84 guy do it, but obviously he won't be admitting to it. 

6. The basement. Ehhhh not sure when the rough grade will be done with these snow days but if we have to scrape and clean the mud out of our basement again, It's going to be very ugly. I said earlier my hubby won't even go out to the house because his anxiety over stupid crap that should be finished and stupid mistakes that keep setting us back is through the roof. 

7. I have said before when praise is deserved I am the first to give it. My acknowledgement of our home consultant's hard work getting our plan the way we want it earned her "Hero of The Week" on Facebook. She rocked. Recently, my acknowledgement of Jack from Barrington Floors also earned him "Hero of the Week." Awesome. Glad the "good parts" of our build are getting noticed. We just wish the "bad parts" would have been addressed the same way! Then we wouldn't still be dealing with them and writing about them over and over and over! 

8. Cleaning lady. I am fine if she holds off even longer because there are still several crews that have to be in the house. 

Until tomorrow...
