 | 09:53 am - The Problem, It's Starting Again; I Must Have Fruit
Day 20. The two tile guys are here, or maybe only Vassily is still here, his boss having been around long enough to get the ball rolling and then split. Sometimes that's how it goes. The overall project manager, who is supervising four other sites as well as ours, has also been and gone this morning.
He and Boss Tile Guy put their heads together over the plans and spotted two places where we failed to get the right kind of edge tile. We went over the plans with our man at Pratt & Larson when we picked up the mosaic, and thought we had spotted all the special bits, but nooo.
Not a crisis, apparently; bullnose field tile is a stock item, so David's gone to get it now. I'm confused; in that last session at P&L where we underestimated the edges, it was deemed preferable to order glazed-edge tiles that would take two weeks instead of instantly available bullnose tiles, ?why?
We've taken down the porch swing to make room for the tile saw, and the toilet is sitting in the hallway. There's a portajohn coming at noon. The basement still has a muddy trench halfway across. The project manager looked at the new pillar supporting the tub area and said "Hmm, that's supposed to be sitting on a pier."
I'm going for a walk.

Poor baby. I feel for you! If they say it needs a pier, it needs a pier. Be ready for the ritual jacking up of the house. |
