Today, Daniel (tile installer) arrived and actually got started laying tile around 10:30 am. Earlier, he laid out a one-half overlap and a one-third overlap for us to evaluate. T had a long night and was not up when Mike and I discussed the options with Daniel. The bottom line was that we agreed we would go with a one-third overlap with a stair-step arrangement. Daniel had gotten the first course down when T arose. I related our discussion to her and she quickly went down to take a look. Her decision was to got to the one-half overlap. Lucky for me, Daniel did not have to undo anything to go that direction. He expected to have some help today that did not materialize. Someone is expected to help him tomorrow. He predicted he would not be finished until Monday of next week. It looks good so far.
No other activity today. Mike said that we was hopeful we would be ready to begin installation of the bar by the middle of next week.
Sadly, we received a letter from our landscaper today informing us that they are withdrawing from our project. The letter was full of false statements, trying to justify their actions, but the bottom line is that they were unwilling to honor the common sense conditions we had insisted upon for their installation activities. Those conditions were to not to block our neighbors driveways and to stay within our property lines. Too bad. It will set back our landscaping schedule, but it will not prevent our ultimate achievement.
Did they finish?
