Big meeting tomorrow with contractor and architect: need to lay down the law. Again *sigh*.
| The hospital is trying to shrink, again. I'm trying to fight it, again. The joys of construction. Neighbors house wants to fall, too. |
|
| Oh, about half of our basement walls are finished! Pics to follow soon. |
|
| Apparently the contractor and architect decided to remove out acoustical ceiling tiles from the plan. News to me. Not good news, either... |
|
| Rebar goes in tomorrow, concrete gets poured on Thursday, basement/foundation should be fully poured by next week. |
|
| Now that our basement is fully dug out, I hope we don't wind up with a pool tonite - or that we get delayed tomorrow. |
|
| We have a bulldozer. We have no fence. We have torn-up ground. We have begun! |
|
| Mtg w/ builder: Awesome. Mtg w/ architect: Awesome. Site works begins tomorrow, excavation begins Tuesday. And we might've saved $$$!! |
|
| About to meet with the builder to "finalize" finishes and materials and go over revised budget and V.E. proposal. |
|
| Excavation finally begins Friday the 18th(?). This is not a recording. I promise. |
|
| Trying to find out, and fix, why the contractor neglected to put oxygen lines in his budget. This is a hospital, after all. |
|
| @PetKnows We're actually located in Philadelphia. Although we are wishing the best for people and pets in Iowa. |
|
| July doesn't help. Oh, and have had to yell at both the contractor and arch for, well, almost everything. Wonder what could happen next? |
|
| So, we got the signature from our neighbor for the underpinning. Now the city is telling us it might be reviewed by JULY!!! |
|
| adjusting our Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing (MEP) engineering proposal. should have been done 2 weeks ago ::sigh:: |
|
| The City is now requiring an underpinning permit. And an approval for underpinning from our neighbor. So construction is delayed - again. |
|
| And we're already tapping into construction contingency a bit. Haven't started building, and we're short on money... |
|
| Getting your contractor, architect, and new engineer on the same page is hard, hard work. |
|
| City added a new permit we have to get: Underpinning. Fun. Just because some old houses collapsed. Le sigh. |
|
| I think I need an actual whip to get some people to do what they say they are going to do. |
