It feels like everything has been delayed at least once. This time, it’s the renovation – again. Sure, it’s only until “Monday,” as they say, but they promised (even up until this past Monday!) that we would be done by the first of March. Sohrab got a text yesterday morning explaining the new schedule:
Cabinets tomorrow and Thursday
Granite Friday
Floor and plumbing Monday
And nothing more. No apology or anything. As if this was the plan all along.
Obviously, we were disappointed. We had already scheduled for my sister to come help us move this weekend, not to mention that the renovation was initially quoted to take around 2 weeks. It turns out that they haven’t even been to the house yet this week, except to get the cabinets delivered yesterday. I admit that I didn’t take the news lightly, because it is so frustrating and I felt lied to. I’m glad I didn’t end up calling to schedule house cleaners for this weekend; I’ll have to set it up for some time next week.
Fortunately, my sister is still coming this weekend and we have plenty to do in preparation for the move. We are consolidating our stuff from two houses into one, which will be a feat in itself. Plus, the rain forecasted for the weekend could really put a damper on our ability/willingness to move things into the condo.
So it’s for the best, I suppose. That, or it was meant to be. Regardless, I’m frustrated with the contractors for not keeping us in the loop and that it’s been delayed yet again.
On a happy note, our dishwasher WAS delivered yesterday morning with no drama, and we were able to get a new microwave and replacement blinds for some of the windows last night! Whenever the contractors are done, we’ll have a completely done kitchen, and that feels great! I can’t wait!
