After many threatening phone calls and a few letters to Nadu Construction Co. complaining that they never bothered to finish some work in our house (or do it properly for that matter), we finall got somewhere with them. They sent someone out this morning while both Karen and I had the day off (pre-planned), and got a lot of things accomplished in a matter of only 2 hours. He showed up at 7:00, just as promised, and took care of all of the minor work that could be done around the house including caulking the window wells (which was never done), fixed the doors upstairs that don't shut, and fixed the front door. There are still a bunch of things that need to be done, but they are things like regrading and seeding the backyard, replace the door frame between the kitchen and garage, and I'm waiting for new seals for our doors to the outside.
After the GC left, I got a call from the drywaller, and we set up a time for him to come out today and do the first of 3 appointments to get all of the walls and patch work ready for the painter. He was here for 2 hours, and got all of the cracks filled and retaped, including the crack in the drywall above the door to the master bathroom (the rest were all along seams). He will be back tomorrow morning at 9:00 while we are both at work to do another round of patching and sanding. I had to have E come out so there would be someone at the house since I don't like the idea of a complete stranger having free reign of our house while we are not home.
I am finally impressed with the way we are being treated and their responsiveness today. We'll see if that all holds up as we go through the rest of the process.
