Well it seems like we have been waiting for this day for weeks and I can finally say that some windows were installed yesterday!! Wahoo, yeehaw, yippee!!!!
Of course none of them are in the front, they are all in the back of the house, but none the less, here is my proof.
More will be going in today, so I’m super stoked about that. We are of course missing some damaged in shipping and our front door. We were not getting any answers about when those would be shipped or what was happening. So I went on LinkedIn and found some upper management people at Jeld-Wen and then found an application that will find you the email of people and got their email addresses. I then drafted a very heartfelt email to one of them explaining our situation, all the stress and time it has cost us and that we aren’t getting any help or answers and could he please help us. Well, what do you know, our Jeld-Wen Sales guy calls this morning giving us an update and promising another update this afternoon, asking us to document our costs and send them to him, promising to keep on top of this and get it resolved, etc… The saying is true, the squeaky wheel, does get the oil!!
Another plus is today we are having our framing and roughed in plumbing inspection. I’m hoping that goes well.
We are really struggling to find drywallers. We finally found one to come out and give us a quote, but that was a week ago and he still hasn’t provided any numbers to us yet. A second guy came out but then called back and said he couldn’t work us into his schedule this year. Every trade out here is soooo busy, you just can’t get people. The same problem with siding, still have yet to find someone who can even give us a quote on that. But hopefully we can keep moving this forward, just need to get over the drywall hump and then we can take a breath.
Look for more window pictures in the next few days!
