Unbelieveable! This morning at about twenty past seven, a truck pulled into our driveway, and three builders got out. They're actually starting WORK on our shed today!
*does happy homeowner dance*
After we got back from our trip, A. called the owner of the business we'd contracted to do our shed repairs, to complain about the fact that seven weeks on, his employee still hadn't turned up to start the work he said he'd do. Within a week, the owner had some different guys call out to us and quote for the job. We eagerly accepted - and not only are they actually starting the work today, when they said they would, but their quotation was $1,000 cheaper than the other guy. Yay!
I imagine the job will take a couple of weeks to complete, as inspectors have to come out and approve various stages of the work. But apparently today the guys are planning to lift the shed itself, move it slightly, and dig trenches for the new foundation.
Seriously, once this is all over, I think we're going to report the first guy we hired to the Better Business Bureau or something. Absolutely ridiculous, that delay.
