Roofers & Drywall & Cabinets, Oh MY!

It was a mob scene this morning on Beachway Drive.

We received a warning note last night from Steve in the Log Book (one of the Commonwealth perks, is that every day Steve updates a log book with what was done/happened during the day, and what is going to happen the next day...does your contractor do this?). It said, and I quote "Gutterman Roofing will be onsite tomorrow morning at 7am to install the roofing. They will be loud, rude and obnoxious. Unfortunately, they need access to your drive way for their truck, so if you would, please move your vehicle to the street before they arrive. Steve"

The trucks pulled up at 6:55am and soon the house was swarmed with at least 6 men, crawling on the roof, yelling at one another, yanking things and tossing them off the roof. Luckily everything is headed into a bin in the driveway, and they draped a large tarp in front of the house, to catch roof debris. It was wild.

Alan Bennett, the Commonwealth production manager, showed up at about the same time to check in. We're right on schedule and he said we can aim to have the movers schedule us to move our stuff back in around the 3rd week of July.

The Cabinets are scheduled to arrive today. I am not sure how that item is going to fit into the chaos.

At about 7:40am, Mike, the drywall guy arrived. He was younger than I thought he'd be. He was immediately expressed dismay in the dryness of the compound that he'd applied yesterday, and said that it may not be ready to finish tomorrow. Uh oh. We left him and Alan to it.

S'all for now,
