week 26: who knows?

I don't even know where to begin. We had a setback a couple of weeks ago and it was distressing to write an entry for the blog then. It's worse now. But I will attempt at keeping the blog updated with the good, the bad, and the ugly. To keep it short, let me put it this way: we're on our 3rd crew chief and have been upgraded by the contracting company as a "squeaky wheel". What was supposed to be a 6 week project is now going into week 11. No one over there seems to listening to what we asked for or what was agreed upon. They were supposed to remove a skylight, and they did, but only on the inside. The new roof went up and I saw the skylight still on top. Need I say more? It's a lot of stuff like this that really beat us down. Wrong windows ordered, no window ordered, pantry is the wrong size, new electrical box not relocated (no room for stucco where it's at now), exterior "pop-out" trim around windows that we didn't want...it's too much. Apparently, the crew chiefs don't keep our notes and we have to repeat everything to the new crew chief. We're tired of it and just want our house back...
