No progress...still

Well, it's Saturday. We were just out to the job site and still NOTHING. It's a beautiful day out there. A perfect day to be framing a house. Yesterday it raining a little in the morning, but by 10 am it was sunny and another great day.

I don't understand how house construction people can not work on weekends if they have had weather hold them back during the week. It doesn't make sense to me. It's not an 8 - 5 job. I'd like Mark to call and verify that they are going to frame our house, but he said he won't do anything until Wednesday. He thinks all of this is my fault because I upset the contractor. I did indeed upset him but I keep replaying the events in my head and I didn't say anything out of line or wrong. All I wanted to know is why they hadn't started framing the house when he promised to start and why he insisted on being paid when he knew he couldn't start.

I'm ready to fire him and move on so I can get this show on the road. Mark says to wait. He's afraid if we upset him he'll contact every sub-contractor in the town and our names will be black listed. This is simply ridiculous. We can't let him control us like this.

When this is all over, I will post the name of the builder and the name of his "company" so that everyone reading this will know NOT to use this person. He cannot multi-task and he does not like anyone questioning him. He wants to be in control of everything. He's more of a spec-house builder than a custom builder. It's my house. He has no say over the specific things that I'm asking for in this house.
