No idea of what is coming up this week. Tomorrow (Monday) will be the third Monday that we have been told that the brick layers will start. We were also told to expect the bricks to be delivered last Friday. They were not. Mike mentioned this past week that he expected the slate installers would finish their work on the garage before the brick layers started. I agreed with him that I would not want to be laying bricks underneath the people installing slate on the gables. However, nothing has been done on the garage slate for over a week. The east gable is still about 65% complete.
There is a cardboard box in the sunroom labeled in such a way as to lead one to conclude that it is the stone veneer for the interior of the fireplace. There is also written on the outside of the box "wait until the 6th". Don't know if that implies the fireplace installation will resume on May 6th (Wednesday).
T got a call from Bobbi (hot tub) yesterday asking if they had already delivered the electrical disconnect. They have not. Bobbi confirmed they will deliver the hot tub on Tuesday.
Bob (cabinetry) sent us a note on Friday asking when the final french door will be installed. He intends to come out and do his final measurements this coming week. I told him the door will not been installed until after the hot tub delivery, scheduled for Tuesday. Subsequent to that, he would need to contact Mike to find out when he intends to install the door.
Today is a nice sunny day. I took the Sapele cabiney door, that we had picked up from Bob on Friday, plus the Sapele sample out to the sunroom and asked T to come out to view the two wood samples in various locations in the room. You may recall that the "gloss" of these two samples was different, one (the door) being 20% and the other 30%. We looked at them in the location of the bar (which will not get any direct sunlight) and over by the hot tub (which will get the most direct sunlight). T came to the conclusion (and I agreed) that the 30% gloss was a better choice. In the darker bar location, the 20% gloss just seemed "unfinished". We will talk with Bob when he comes next week.
When T and I visited Bob on Friday, Bob mentioned that he was going under the assumption that the wood paneling would be on top of a dry wall (gypsum board) surface. He also said that when he came to our home a couple of weeks ago, he mentioned this to Mike, but Mike implied that he thought the paneling would go directly on the wall studs. Bob assured me that there would be dry wall and that the drawings (Tyler's drawings) supported this. When we got home, I looked at the drawings and they do not show a dry wall underneath the wood paneling. Sensing yet another disconnect, yesterday (Saturday) I sent an email to Mike and Tyler, and copied Bob, saying that Bob told us he was expecting dry wall. If this is not the plan, and if this assumption may cost us money, it needed to get it sorted out quickly.
