Status Report

What’s going on? Well, we are waiting again. This time we are waiting for the contractor. The contractor said that he needs our draftsman to make changes to our plans in order to avoid having to file change orders with the Department of Planning and Natural Resources. This is supposed to save us time and money once we start building. So, we had a meeting with the contractors and our draftsman before we went to New Mexico. The contractors told our draftsman about the changes they want to make. Then one of the contractors said that he would get his draftsman to give our draftsman more information about the changes, within a few days. So, when I got back from New Mexico (about 10 days later), I asked our draftsman if he had started working on the changes and he said no. Wait, just wait. The reason he had not started was because he had not received the information from the contractors' draftsman. Hmmmm. Today, about three weeks later, he still hasn’t gotten the information from the contractors. The contractors say the information will be ready by this Friday (and said the same thing about last Friday and the one before that). So that’s what I’m waiting for.

The most frustrating part about this is that while our draftsman was working on our plans, I asked the contractor if there were any adjustments that needed to be made to the contractors specifications.. The only thing the contractor brought up was the size of the windows and doors.

Paul and I went up to our property yesterday. The road needs to be cleared again. Not sure if we should start working on it soon or wait. Who knows when we will actually break ground!
