Have two guys here replacing the final two windows/sliding glass door (which I should have replaced when they were here last time), and they appear to have been raptured... Stopped work, stuff all here, but they disappeared, LOL #mystery#contractors
Hmm, can't go back to my house for a bit, because the contractors are either going to be embarrassed or mad I emailed a photo of them clogging my toilet and leaving to their project manager (now that they have returned). 🤔
Hmm, well, went to check on the house and the contractors left a giant dump (#2) unflushed and clogged in the toilet, if you're wondering how my remodeling is going. #disasterremodeling
Really, they should have rented a porta potty for the duration of the job. I didn't know that until halfway through (thanks whoever here on the Fediverse told me about that law), but I did not push the issue as there were so many things I was fighting the contractor over... CA code that governs access to toilets (or porta potties) at job sites: https://www.dir.ca.gov/title8/1526.html#contractors#legal#law#california#bathrooms
Interesting on the responsiveness difference between one contractor's project manager and another.
The one that originally pulled all the wet carpet, drywall, and content out of our house after our plumbing disaster texted me back instantly (arranging a move back soon). 30 seconds later.
The project manager for the folks doing the restoration usually takes two days to reply (to text, calls... does not respond to emails).
We are finally in a position to start taking care of some very much needed and very much overdue #homerepairs and I would prefer recommendations from people who have personally had quality work done by a local contractor rather than picking one at random online.
Pointing fingers, here's what they say
It's not our fault, insurance won't pay
Things aren't done yet, don't look at us
It's someone else's problem, don't make a fuss
Cutting corners, cutting costs
Why should we care, it's the homeowners loss
The only problem, unforunately
Is those pesky owners keep bugging me
Based on complete failure by the project manager to respond to either phone call or text, and the inside office person pointing fingers at the project manager (after the project manager pointed at the inside office person), I am going to file this under "likely contractor SNAFU" ie carpet likely not ordered. So now, to see how quickly they move to fix the situation, or if it's another ask-insurance-to-lean-into-situation problem. I may be wrong, but past experience with these folks is silence = screwup of some sort. #snafu#contractors#disasterremodeling
Sigh. Drywall screws down in the toilet outlet, says the plumber. Which need to be removed before they cause a disaster. Contractor informed. I suppose I should figure out how to clean that out myself given these guys' track record. #disasterremodeling#contractors
