The Remodel

Well, I am redoing the floors in my place.  So I ordered new floors on May 13, had final measure and was ready to go May 14.  Was supposed to be installed May 23.  A friend helped me remove all the old carpet and clean up the staples…I was done and set by May 18.

Unfortunately, they place ordered 12″ tiles and I specified 18″ tiles.  No floor was installed.  I have removed all the carpet, and appliances, removed the water heater even so the tile could go in there.

Found out that they won’t have the correct tile until hopefully June 11.  The biggest problem I’m having is lack of communication from the peoples.  I call them, they never return the calls and don’t get a status update – even to say they don’t know when the new stuff will be in…

I guess I’ll see.  I could go shopping for new carpet and tile and cancel on the first people … but you must understand how much I hate shopping.  At least the walls are all painted and I went over all the wood trim with Watco Rejuvenating Oil – the trim looks great!

Maybe I’ll find a camera and take pictures of it before the carpet and tile goes in..then after… we’ll see.

    Not yet, but, there’s a 10 day garauntee that they’d have things installed. I haven’t brought it up yet – I was hoping they’d bring it up. I have to call tomorrow and find out whats the deal. I may just cancel everything with them and have to go shopping again.
