What the eff?

Seriously... I'm so embarrassing.
I just got off the phone with my builder, the conversation consisted of Lou (which I think is a cute girls name) telling me that she was sending a guy out to check on my house to see if my possession date needed to be pushed back or if they were going to make it in time. My response was... tears, tears and more tears! (Umm... hello dumb, dumb, you cry after you hang up the phone.) Nothing is going right with this Hell hole I'm going to call home (for now it's a hell hole, hopefully I like it after I'm done with these people). Apparently I'm reaching my stress limit!



P.S. If you would like to avoid the awkward convo with me, where you don't know what to say cause I'm crying my guts out, don't call for the next month or so.

If I knew then what I know now...

So we have been building a house for the past 11 months and I am now at the point that if another thing goes wrong I will send myself to the loony bin!
We were supposed to be in the house by Christmas, clearly that didn't happen. We have gone through more than one sales person, had to choose, and re-choose, and then choose our finishes again due to the retardedness of every person in the company (with the exception of our site supervisor, which is a relief because hopefully that means at least we will be moving into a soundly constructed home).
The newest drama in the house building saga is my floors, they tiled almost my entire main floor. I'm not sure if the installer was unable to read drawings, or maybe it's the english language in general, so that had to be ripped out and now there is not enough tile left to finish the laundry/mud room and front entrance and the other trades can not finish what they have to do until the floors are done. We'll see how far back that puts our possession date...
Also, every single one of my light fixtures is on back order, except the one in the laundry room, you know the one that nobody will ever see. They also ordered the wrong finish on my bathroom fixtures but apparently now the ones I ordered and paid for are discontinued. Funny how that happens...


Cute, isn't it?

I could go on for days about the problems I have had with this company, I'm not even exaggerating...days!!! These are just some of the things I have had to deal with in the last 2 weeks alone.
I will be glad when it's all done... if that ever happens!
