I've told you all...

Jim and I decided to take a ride past the house yesterday. Not much getting done at our house. We have a missing window, no roof, and pretty much the same progress as last week. It was a fast week of progress now we are at a standstill when the houses that were started after ours just keep going. We also don't have any roof shingles delivered so I'm doubtful on anything else getting done this week. 

Now on to the BEST part. Our subdivision has a facebook page, and I have become friends with a few neighbors. Last night I get this picture, 
The caption is, "They are pouring a foundation like this, and I'm pretty sure the blue light is their cell phone so they can see." Yes, they actually poured the house across the street from us at 8pm. I read that the trucks were guided in with flashlights and they literally poured this foundation in the dark. No generators, lights, or bonfires. Cell phones and flashlights. If this was my home I would be livid. This is the kind of stuff Mike Holmes lives for. 

I will keep you all updated. If we don't have a roof or window by Friday I will rain down hell upon these PM's. Also, we have about a foot of standing stinky water in our basement that needs to be pumped out as well. 

To be continued...

  1. Oh Bridget - you poor thing! I hate that you are having such a bad experience. I will say that I've noticed the pace of other houses seem to vary based on ours. I was annoyed they started 2 other houses before ours when we signed the contract back in May (and they didn't until July or August). But now we are all basically neck and neck - but it varies daily.
    Hope you have progress by Friday - fingers crossed for you!

    1. Thank LuLu- it's all so disgusting what's going on. We had a window, then the next day it was gone. Still no roof delivery. In the past week they framed out where our tub is going... It's just frustrating.

      Thank you though! I'm living vicariously through you guys! Lol.

  2. If I could enter an emoticon of me with my mouth wide open, it would speak volumes. I too hate that this is your experience! Things will have to turn around soon! I look forward to how your conversation will go with the PM if your windows or roof aren't in! Hang in there!

    1. Eboni- I'm praying for the positive but am preparing for the negative. I'm hoping for positive changes at this point.

    2. Lauren- apparently they build houses by the light of the moon here. Pretty pathetic if you ask me for sure. I know if I rolled in and saw that was my house I would have lost my mind. How is it possible to pour a foundation in the dark?!?
