David's put a new opening into one of the back walls - just in case anyone else questions our "enclosure".We are still having contractor problems. Central has been storing our ICF blocks - we checked last week to make sure that they still had them. Turns out that they used our blocks on another project, but Joe, the ICF supplier, realized this and so made Central pay him for our blocks before he would sell them any more blocks. So now Joe has our blocks. Thank goodness that Joe was looking out for us or we would have been in a world of hurt.
Central still owes us a concrete pour (not to mention that they still need to pay $8.5K worth of bills on our job). One of Central's subs, Juan, was supposed to set the forms for our pilings this weekend but never showed. David had Juan's number so gave him a call - surprise, surprise - Central owes Juan money so Juan isn't doing any work for them until he gets paid.
We are going to let Central pour the walls, hopefully sometime this week, and then we will break the contract. We will probably use Juan to finish the job, although Juan doesn't want to take the job until Central pays him - he's worried that he won't get paid if Central finds out that he's taking over. Hopefully he'll get paid this week.
Using Juan will bring its own set of problems - Juan has 200 people working for him, and they've always done great work on our project. But there aren't a lot of english speaking workers in his crews.
