No News and Worse News

No word from either Herman or Lowe, and bids are due tomorrow at three... not a word concerning the bid or the email I sent Sunday re: slight changes to the bids: demo the garage interior concrete steps, infill the garage/interior door (with avenues of re-instating the door at a later date), and line item the fire sprinklers.

We had hoped to re-submit plan check today (as it's Thursday and the plans are sent out by the City to their outsource agency on days that begin with Ts). David the architect said Saturday that he would be contacting Vinci Monday to see if we could get the changes made by Wednesday so we could submit today. Only crickets and tumbleweeds from David this week.

So I sent David the architect an email this morning saying "Since it's Thursday morning, and I haven't heard anything, I'm assuming we're not going to make today's submission. Any word if Tuesday will be any better? I really want to get this moving forward.... BTW, I have still yeat to hear from Herman; neither Lowe nor Herman responded to my email on Sunday."

Now I get an email back from David: "This was the tag I got back on Monday ... I will follow up now and communicate ASAP.... [forwarded message: 'We will make the changes and aim to be complete by the end of this week.']"(empahses mine).

What the FUCK? David gets this response MONDAY (morning, according to the email details), and I'm only hearing about it now? Lisa talked to the sonofabitch Monday night, to convey the compliments from Fred from Coastline... and he told her NOTHING of this possible week-long delay.

Now I'm pissed.

The only good news is that Coastline stays in contact with us almost daily... Fred will pick up his questionaire tomorrow... but at their price... I just don't know.

If I didn't want the boys to have their own rooms (Dad included), I'd scrap this whole fucking project.
