So Frustrated

Well building a house can be a little frustrating I have to say. I think the worst part is waiting on subs to do their work, our general is great! Our heating guy started almost three weeks ago and I still don't think he's done! The electrician is working his butt off though. I think he'll probably be done today if he wasn't done yesterday. The plumber went in and got almost everything done, he just forgot a couple of things. Then I had to call my contractor and he had to call the plumber to come back and finish. Our cabinet guys have been hounding us because they want to come up for final measurements but they don't do that until after the 4-way inspection is done, which means the heating guy has to finish his crap.
Our masonry guy has been there a couple of times doing some stuff for our brick. We saw him there yesterday and Blake decided to go talk to him. He told Blake "yeah I could get all of it done, it would only take me one day if your front door was put in" The door has to be in so that way the brick goes all the way to the door, (makes sence). So I started thinking about it, we ordered our front door three weeks ago, and part of the reason I choose the door I did was because it was a good price and they had it in stock (hence the good price). So I called Jones Paint and Glass today to see what was going on. They said it's done and just sitting there, but they couldn't deliver it until next Tuesday. So it's just been sitting there cause they're to busy to deliver it and my masonry guy is sitting around actually wanting to do his work and he can't because he's waiting on our door! Our general conractor is out of town, but his right hand men are still here, so I tried calling one of them to see if they could just go pick it up and put it in today or Monday so our brick could get done.
Besides the fact that they delivered the wrong french doors for our dinning room. So we are waiting for that to be fixed, and the wrong ones are just sitting there. I want to just take them back to Jones and go get them from Lowes, which is what I thought we were doing in the first place, because I think they were like $150-$200 cheaper there. Any ways it's just a big hurry up and wait game.
Don't get me wrong I am so thankful for the work that has got done, and it really is starting to come together and they should be able to sheet rock it either next week or the week after that which would just be great. That will make me so happy. There are just so many things to get done and so many choices to make it's insane. I can't wait to just live in it! It does make me excited for the future.
Well Blake took the day to go fishing and I'm at home with the boys, hoping and praying that Ben isn't getting sick AGAIN! He isn't acting right and his voice is raspy, and he has coughed a little this morning. Besides the fact that he's just laying down watching a movie. He just got off his antibiotics on Monday! I can't wait for it to be warm, maybe all of this cold sick nastyness will go away. Brendon only has to be on his antibiotics through tomorrow, though i'm thinking about letting him take it on Sunday too, just incase Ben is getting sick again.
Well sorry I don't have any pictures to post this time. I'm so bad at remembering to take them when we're out looking at our house. Then during the day I can't find my camera because it's either in my purse and I've forgot or it's in the car or truck. Someday my brain will work better.

That stinks! That's the only problem with buiding houses I guess, trying to line them up so it all works! Sorry your little boys are sick again, hopefully nothing serious! Sick kids are no fun!
