We want our house back!
We're at the stage where progress is slow, and we're stuck in the house waiting for tradesmen, and we just want things to get back to normal. Kevin had told us last week he was hoping to be finished on Wednesday or Thursday. That's last Wednesday or Thursday. Now, we think we'll be lucky to be finished before this weekend. Stephen the carpenter didn't turn up yesterday or today. He'd be finished by now if he had been here. On Monday, Kevin told us that 2 of Stephen's guys didn't turn up on another job and he had to go in himself. Today, when I rang him around 2, Kevin said that Stephen had suffered from a tummy bug last night, but that he would definitely be in tomorrow. Somehow, I don't think so!
This is really disappointing. It's getting us down. We feel we can't get settled in the house, as there is still finishing work to be done in most rooms. And it's leaving us with a bad last impression. Somebody else is obviously screaming louder than us. I know that's the way things are with builders - large or small - they are always juggling several jobs and contractors at a time, and things don't always pan out as expected. But there is so little to be done to get it finished. I just want it to be over!
