So I am thinking about taking bets
Okay I am not really going to take bets, but to be completely honest I am half tempted to take bets on if what I was told today from the builder is truly going to happen or not. If you are new to my blog we have gone through some shit difficulties with building our home. We should have already been in our home but because of things with the builder and a delay that turns out to be a blessing with a permit with the state we are still not in our home.
Today they say it will be Monday or Tuesday
So today I received a phone call saying that it will be Monday or Tuesday that a guy will be out to fix the roof and electrical panel. Then they will be back but I wasn't told when to fix everything else. So this is where I am thinking maybe I should be taking bets. Will they actually show up? If they do show up will it be on Monday or Tuesday? Will they actually get the work done that we are being told will be done? Or will they mess up things ever more?
I am truly thinking I can make this into some type of game for my readers
So here is the deal. First person to correctly guess what day and time they builder sends someone to fix our electrical panel and roof will win $5 sbd. Will it be Monday Jan 15th or will it be on Tuesday Jan 16th and what time of day do you think they would show up. Or do you think they will be a no show on both days and it will be another day completely? Let me know in the comments and if and when they show up, who ever is the first person to have posted the correct day and time will win $5 SBD.
If no one picks the correct time of day I will choose the person closest to the correct time to win the SBD. If no one is correct and the builder hasn't gotten anyone out there by the time the posts ends. I will donate the $5 SBD to @schoolforsdg4.
Yes that is ice, that means the roof is leaking because we have no utilities hooked up yet
If you have misses any previous posts about our build you can find the last one here.

Hmmm... based on past performance:
I say they show up Tuesday at 3:30 p.m., will make a half-assed attempt at repairs, will discover he needs a part and have to come back next week (maybe) to finish messing up what he started on Tuesday.

I am gonna say a week from when they're supposed to actually show up! Just because something always comes up and they can't show up..

Tuesday Jan 16 at 10:45 AM. Because Monday is a holiday and no one starts work in construction before 10 AM on the day after a holiday.
Now I don't wanna be "Price Is Right"-ed.. pick your own time at least 15 minutes away from mine if you agree with me! ☺️

I hope you get someone there sooner, but if someone shows up on Monday, I'll be shocked. In a good way.. So I'm crossing my fingers and toes for you!

You and me both will be shocked. I will be even more shocked if they send someone who knows what they are doing. Cause so far the crews they were responsible for hiring has sucked. The only good contractors we have had so far are the ones we hired directly.

Can you suggest a contractor to the builder? Would they consider it? You might be better off if you start providing recommendations.. if they're open to it.
These days everyone talks about lawyers when they don't get their way, but the more dangerous thing is actually the news and social media. You might consider threatening to have a national news channel cover your experience with the builder if they can't handle hiring trades properly...?

There is an investigative news consumer thing that one of the local news station does. If we have to go to the point of getting an attorney then we will also be contacting the news. As we want to put the pressure on them. And if this guy doesn't do things right I am gonna tell them that I will find the finish crew.

I'd suggest threatening with the news before the lawyer. Some companies care more about what comes up in a google search than they do about hiring a lawyer who they probably already have on retainer.

That is actually my next step before going to my lawyer. I keep one on retainer too.

Monday at 8:30 with there coffee in hand. After a 1/2 hour they will actually do something. But then they will tell you the town needs to come out and inspect their work. Thus delaying you again !

Based on this week's weather forecast, my guess is that this will happen sometime on Thursday, January 18, in the late afternoon sometime between 2 & 3 p.m. Think I'll make that 2:30 p.m.

Well I thought I would have fun with it and if no one guess the correct date and time the kids will get the $5 sbd figured why stress over it any more than I have to and why not have some fun.
