MooStruction: September 2009

day 14 and the shit hits the fan. literally

Change Orders. Two words dreaded by architects that contractors LOVE to say.

So everything is going wrong. The kitchen plan that I approved.. oops, was wrong and so the kitchen on one side was built for 9'6" instead of 9'2". The cabinets can't be cut down and so I have to pay the contractor to rebuild the wall 4" over. Also, to make matters worse, I have a crack in the waste line of my toilet so when I flush shit flies out of a hole on top of the woman below me. It's just a crack but it's recommended i replace that segment. Maybe I should get a second opinion...but then I'd have to pay for one so at this point I just want it fixed.

Change Orders:

1) electric (added under cabinet lights + bedroom light)

2) waste line

3) snaking the whole system cause it's clogged like crazzzzzzzzy

4) rebuild entire wall + soffit

If I enter bankruptcy please understand it's cause I wanted my apt to be pretty and it's really all my fault that I couldn't just live with the late 60s metal cabinets, pink bathtub, and just sitting sideways on my toilet cause the metal wall hamper stuck out too far. shit

Day 7 what is going on?

We have permits, we have deadlines, we have NO WORK BEING DONE FOR 4.75 business days. They have 2 hrs to get there and do something...anything; maybe put the window back in the window.
