The Saga Continues

While cleaning up the contractor's debris yesterday, we discovered yet another problem they had left behind--two of our shutters had been broken. Apparently, they broke them when removing them before taking off the old siding.

What was especially irksome was that they neglected to inform us of the damage. If my husband hadn't found the broken pieces in the yard while he was raking leaves, we might not have known til it was time to put the shutters back up.

The shutters are only about two years old. Couple that with the scratch on our brand new garage door (only about two MONTHS old!), it's a pattern that is frustrating.

The workers' supervisor dropped by yesterday to review the progress on the house. (The workers weren't here.) He was not happy that they had left a couple of large, bent gutters in the middle of our front yard, blocking the path to the door. My husband showed him the garage door scratch, too, but he hadn't discovered the shutters yet.

This job may take longer than anticipated, if we have to get them to keep fixing the things they break!

Meanwhile, I did get some minor work done on the window seat, installing and caulking the quarter round trim. I need to touch up the trim with paint now, and it's good to go for the cushion!
