I should have written this post sooner, but I have been avoiding it. I got a copy of my final plans for the entire house, but I haven't gotten the plans for just the downstairs. I was supposed to get them on Friday, then on Monday, then today. I left the draftsman a voicemail and text message today, and nothing. No response at all. At this point I want to yell and scream at someone. We have an appointment with our contractor on Friday and I need my plans.
So, you are probably wondering why we are using this draftsman. Well, I went against my better judgment of not working with people you know and hired a friend's husband. He had good recommendations and is doing the work for a great price. I wish I would have paid more for someone who understands deadlines. This might not be important to him, but its important to us and if he doesn't understand that, he shouldn't have taken the job. He initially said we would have our plans two weeks after Carnival. Carnival is in late April/early May. I've asked him twice if he would be able to meet a certain deadline and told him that if he couldn't we would pay him for his time and move on, but he kept saying he would meet the deadline. I have tried to be very calm about the whole thing because of my friendship with his wife, but I can't take it anymore.
I don't plan on using anymore friends or husbands of friends anymore. If I'm not gonna feel comfortable getting real and just saying the hell with you, forget it; we can go to dinner, but I am not hiring you for anything slightly important.
