Meet with Ty

Ty gave us a call and asked us to meet with him so he could check out the house and discuss some other issues. We all concur that the painters aren't doing such a good job, they didn't sand enough, so there are rough patches on the trim where the saw at the mill scoured it.

We found a cigarette butt on the floor, that was classy. Ty is such an interesting guy, he was telling us about the time he spent working on Hollywood sets and he would travel all over for that. He told us some other stuff as well, that is probably going to be affecting us in the coming weeks. I am planning on writing drafts of posts and then posting them after this is all over, so stay tuned...

Update from the Home Front

Well it has been awhile since I posted, but that is because not too much has been happening. Ty was working on trim and the staircase for a long time, and they couldn't do much of the staining/painting till he was done because of dust.

We had to make an interest payment last week, it is up to 2700 a month now (ouch). So the month and a half delay from Lighthouse is going to cost us at least 4000, so it makes me really happy when they ask for an extra 1000 for something that was discussed at the meeting.

This week they are actually getting to the staining, hopefully this is the beginning of the end.

Counter tops are in

Counter tops are in, as well as a first coat of stain in some places. We are a bit concerned that it doesn't appear that the trim has been sanded prior to being stained... We will probably have to ask Steve about that.

Doors and Trim

The doors are up, the trim is being put on, and the garage doors are on.
