Updates

The masonry work is all but done - pending inspection today. They have a little more minor groutwork to finish but it looks good.

The plumbing is backed up in the kitch and laundy. Esteban is coming out today to snake the shit out of it.

I met w/ Rich from Cactus Garage Doors (www.cactusgaragedoors.com) today. We either have to lower the new opening to 6'6" or remove the old beam and replace it with one that will give us the needed 8' or so of clearance with the new opening.

Legacy Cabinets Design/Bids

Here are the designs from Legacy. Their bid is under $8000.00 which is far less than we've found elsewhere.

Legacy Cabinets

I just met w/ Dan Barone from Legacy/Alliant Cabinets. He will work up plans and a bid and hopefully get that to us this weekend. Here's his info:

He is a Buffalo Bills fan, though - still upset about the drubbing my Bears put on his team this past weekend. I hope that does not affect the bid.

Optimistic Progress

Well, half the walls are now up and passed inspection. The other half will be completed this weekend. Inside, the popcorn ceilings are being removed and the walls are generally closing in around us. Other than that, everything is great!

Goodbye Vern....Hello Arnufo

Vern was fired due to his contanst delays and bullshit. He owes is $2000.00. I met with Efraims guy, Arnufo, who can complete the job for $4200.00 but will need $2000.00 when he begins tomorrow.

He will have four feet up by the end of the weekend, then we need to call for an inspection and he will complete the remaining blockwork next weekend.

Vern the Procrastinator

I just spoke with Vern and told him the water heater line is being re-routed today to give him the clearance he needs to begin work on that wall. I then asked him which day he is coming out. He said it likely won't be until next week sometime. I laid into him pretty good since this is the second time he's pulled this shit without even letting us know. I told him to call us back with a definite starting point since he is now the bottleneck on our project.

In other news, I think we should go over to Ikea Friday or Saturday to look at Cabinets. Do you have Cheryl's Dad's number? If not, I'll ask her when she gets out of her meetings.

Brad the Plumber II

I received this plumber from my friend, Dan, at work. I've got a call and email in to him to bid our gas lines being moved.
