Day 164 - Flooring Moving Slow

I was home sick again today but stopped by the house a couple of times.  The flooring guys (3 of them) were there today but in our opinion going very slow.  I even bought them pizza for lunch hoping that would speed things up but not so much.  They laid the basement bathroom tiles and finished the wood flooring in the kitchen.  They still have to finish the master bath tiles and grout the three bathrooms along with the laundry room.  They also have to lay the wood floors in the foyer, hallway, and the half bath.  They were supposed to be done today and maybe into tomorrow but I'm thinking not until Friday at this pace.

The carpet is supposed to be installed today but I'm not sure that is going to happen with the mess the house is in right now.  We e-mailed our FM and he assured us it was still on.  The wife is very concerned that the rest of the trades are going to make a mess on the brand new carpeting.

Our FM gave us an updated schedule on 1/23:

  • 1/23-1/27 - Flooring
  • 1/27 - Carpet install
  • 1/28 - Countertop switch outs
  • 1/29 - Plumbing
  • 2/1 - Cleaning
  • 2/2-2/3 - Painting touch-ups (we may need to take some time off to be there for this)
Some other random thoughts:
  • Wondering if it's going to be warm enough to put in the driveway and sidewalks before we move in - still waiting on a quote from our new excavator 
  • We have appliance deliveries scheduled for 2/11 so hopefully that works out
  • We've decided on the tile back-splash and now just waiting on the price quote along with timing to install
  • It's probably a good time to start getting some estimates for fence installation as well as we had that in our PPI's
