Panic.
Wednesday June 27, 2007
1200.
Two Nice Guys appear...one starts completing nailing around one window. The other stands around.
Yesterday - Tuesday, B/H visits Nice Guys office.
B/H briefs me on her conversation with Nice Guys Corp Senior V.P. Says she suggested Sky Lights in Sunroom overhead since Gable windows would be so small as to be a joke...also telling him she is disappointed with single-hung windows...she had ordered sliding windows. Also tells V.P. I'm not happy with the job so far. Tells me V.P. looked surprised saying he thought I was happy.
In a long email this morning, I told him I'll be happy when the job is finished.
Told him I was extremely disappointed in the outcome of gable size saying the "guesstimation" on it's height "went terribly wrong".
Sent him the list of remaining things to do I posted on the previous page to this one...to get his act together, and beware of those with "casual" interpretations of the plans, and Nice Guys Corp dedication to excellence. Closed the email with the news that I had discovered all of the single hung windows are "non impact" rated, and that only two of the seven architectual windows are "impact resistant"...but to not remove them until replacements from the manufacturer are received. Also I mentioned ordering the sunroom door from the manufacturer since it hasn't been received yet, and to take this opportunity to get the sliding windows the B/H ordered.
I told the one Nice Guys Corp carpenter about the non compliance window situation, and advised him to cease nailing as the windows will have to be swapped out. He called the Nice Guys Project Manager on his cell phone.
The PM must have by this time read the email sent to the V.P. and Cc to him, and the next thing is I see the two carpenters busy installing the facia board...item number one on my "to do" list. Panic! There are now three carpenters...another just arrived in time to work with the other two. After they finished I noticed they had nailed instead of screwed...as per plan the facia board to the rafter ends.
The PM must have been showed the email, as the next thing I see the carpenters tackling is the Gable Post...post cap hardware laying on the sunroom floor indicates either the PM dropped them by unbeknownst to me, or the third guy brought them with him. However, it's not the hardware for the Gable end of the ridge beam post, but for the intermediate post. The post at the gable end requires straps, which are laying with the post caps hardware on the floor.
Heavy pounding alerts me to witness all three carpenters erecting a made up post from floor to ridge beam so that they can work on that post over the Gable Bracing LVL Wall Beam. It appears they will remove the post to fix the wrong hardware to it tomorrow as the straps, which should be used, are too long for the short post, instead using the post caps which are called for the other post that sits on the house wall top. They left for the day at 1600.
