They began installing the bathroom and floor tile ten days ago.
So far, they have ALMOST one bathroom finished.
Only 2 more bathrooms, a slate fireplace wall, and 1400 sq ft of mudroom, laundry room, kitchen, foyer, hearth room, office, and hallway to go!
The cabinet folks are waiting on the tile guys.
The interior trim carpenters are waiting on the tile guys.
The sauna installer is waiting on the tile guys.
The electrician is waiting on the tile guys.
The countertop fabricator is waiting on the tile guys.
It seems EVERYONE is waiting on the tile guys.
Waiting....
Waiting...
Waiting...
I feel like singing the Heinz ketchup commercial "Anticipation is making me wait..." But, it's not anticipation - it's "the tile guys".
My builder assures me that "the tile guys" actually kick other subcontractors out of the house if necessary. They are the prima donna of the building subcontractors and always get the right-of-way. He also said that they are paid by the square foot, ours are going extremely slow, but they seem to be doing excellent work - (which gives me a little comfort.)
You'd think they could do some creative scheduling... but oh no no no! The floor goes in first, so the cabinets can sit on it, then (and only then) the countertop can be measured, countertops fabricated and finally installed. The sauna needs a floor before the walls can be installed. Carpenters dare not create dust because it disrupts "the tile guys".
And so it goes....
And so we're waiting....
waiting....
waiting....
Rather IMPATIENTLY.
