not much

that's the old bathtub with a hole in it.
i suppose se'll have to pay some something to get the bathrooms fixed now, considering it's totally gone.

no pouring of the foundation, i guess. did we pass inspection? i have no idea...derek left his phone at school.

more delays

So, no pouring going on. Derek said he talked to them on the phone, and when the city came out, they have another MAJOR correction to be made. Apparently one that costs like $5000. Adding in a "third pad"? Whatever that is. The city is supposed to come back out on Thursday to re-inspect. Why does the city of Cerritos make one correction and then send them back to work on it, only to come back and identify another?! Why can't they list them all at once? The contractors have been waiting until today to do anything because they thought they would be ready to go. If they could've said all the things that were wrong up front, we wouldn't be doing this now...
Also, the quote for getting the two downstairs bathrooms fixed is $24,900. Yikers. That's a lot more than we expected. Don't know what we're going to do at this point about that.

update before the turkey break

update on an email from dafneh, from the contractor:
had an inspection today and needed to correct one mistake
mistake has already been corrected
due to the holidays, the next inspection won't be until next tuesday
and they will pour the foundation after the inspection



interesting...
just as i was typing the above, a knock came on the door.
it was EZ (sp?) the main guy we work with from 7 Construction
he brought over a holiday gift pack with wine and cheese for us
wow
cool
will have to add in a picture of it later


he gave an update too about what happened at last week's inspection:
a deputy inspector came and said everything was fine -- with the epoxy connecting the the old with the new (not sure if i got that part right), but then later the inspector from the city of cerritos came and wanted one root out of one the holes, so they took care of that.
now we just have to wait for them to come back out to inspect.

bye bye garage

guess they didn't pour today...
but instead i noticed a much LARGER pile of trash, which was the framing around the garage.
maybe the inspectors told them it had to go??
i have no idea...
