Monday, I went out to the property to check on the progress and NOTHING. I called the builder but of course he didn't answer. I left a message asking what was going on and he never returned my call. In the mean time, I leave for my business trip to Chicago.
Tuesday afternoon Mark went out to the property and first part of the framing supplies were out there. We both figured things would start happening Wednesday. Wednesday Mark drove out there in the afternoon and once again nothing.
I called the builder again and once again he didn't answer his phone. An hour and a half later he called me back. I asked him how come he hadn't started framing when he promised to start Monday. He said he had a couple of set backs in Sherman but he'd start on ours on Friday! FRIDAY????!!!! He told me I was getting upset over things that were out of his control. I told him that he could have avoided all of this by calling me to tell me there is a set back. He said he was calling me now. I told him that he was calling in response to TWO phone calls I made to him. He didn't call on his own to let me know and he should have called me Monday to let me know of the delay. Heck, even over the weekend he had to know he wasn't going to be out to our house on time. I told him I didn't appreciate being forced to make a payment and then not have the service delivered. Well, that made him really mad and he told me I should find someone else to build my house. We left it that he would be out Friday. Well, it's Friday and it's now raining. And guess what? It's supposed to rain Monday too.
If he does not start framing by Wednesday next week, we'll demand our money back and then try to figure out something else.
