Weekend Overhaul

April 4th–6th

Everybody has been on overhaul as we are nearer to our move-in date. Rick has remained at the house to work on the plumbing, sheetrock, and pretty much anything else. We arrived on Friday to find the kitchen cabinets up and appliances in. Most of the outer walls were sheetrocked and Rick had started the plumbing. The electrical was finished (at least we thought so). We ran into major problems with the electricians we hired due to their quality of work and inability to do the job we hired them for. We learned in this project who not to hire! We really missed the fantastic contractors we used in the Northeast Kingdom, they could teach these contractors a few things about quality work.

That weekend the trees were taken down in the backyard. We hired excavators that were recommended to level the yard and cut the trees, and we were billed 3 times higher than the original quote. Once the excavators dug out the cement patio at the back of the house, water damage was discovered which was expected.
