Remodel-week 8, Thursday

The saga of the wood for the deck is getting a little crazy. Somehow what was supposed to be delivered yesterday, wasn't. It either never made the truck or went elsewhere. Greg spent a good bit of the morning trying to track down what happened. In the meantime the guys are here doing what ever they can on the deck without the rest of the wood. They added finish trim around the railing posts and the one cedar post. They were able to get the metal support in place at the steps. Those steps won't even think of moving now! The wood going back was picked up.  Lynn was also here working on the floors up stairs.

           

We took off as there wasn't anything we could really do and no need to be here. Ran a few errands and went to Salado.   Another wood delivery was made. Greg was here and sent most of it back. Cedar post the 8 x 8 wasn't good. Deck boards weren't good and they sent the wrong boards for the ceiling. Good thing Greg was here, it never made it to our drive way! It has been promised that the right wood and good wood will either be delivered this evening yet or early tomorrow morning. This is really been holding up construction. Some of the right Hardie board was on the truck and they got it on the steps as facing.

 The pickets for our fence also arrived. The guys got as much done today as they could. And of course they have other jobs they could be working at.

We are hoping that things will fall into place tomorrow. The right wood shows up and is good quality. Lynn will be back in the morning to finish up putting the pencil trim on the Travertine in the bathrooms. And I think the glass for the 4 windows will also be here and installed. We're not there yet, but a closer each day to the end. Probably another week should do it!  Keep those fingers crossed.
