Floors

Floors of course have been done since last Thursday when the pro got here to do them.  The way I figure it, he would have been done with the entire project, including the hallway if they had him do it to begin with, in 1 day. meaning laying down the floorboards.  Then 1 extra day to sand, seal, stain, varnish.
But instead, let's count the days. Monday to take out old and lay down new plywood. Tuesday from the maintenance guys to get about 3 feet done. Wednesday for the maintenance guys to get the rest of the hallway done and into the dining area (that of course only happened cuz they didn't take tons of breaks like they did in Tuesday, but actually worked). Thursday the pro was called and he was here earlier than expected and would have finished around noon if it wasn't for the fact that he had to wait about an hour and a half for the manager to bring him the last of the wood he needed to finish the floor.   He would have been done and gone by 12:30pm if the manager was more on top of things.  But instead he finished his day around 2:30pm.
The pro stopped over on Friday morning to sand the floors, while we hid in the bedroom with a blanket under the door so we weren't covered in wood dust.
He wanted to do the sealing and varnish, but we weren't ready for that.. meaning we had not prepared for that and had not packed any bags for the kids or ourselves.  The varnish would need 24 hours to dry and the smell would not be healthy for the kids. so we planned for Monday morning for the sealing and varnish to be done.
We stayed over my brother in laws Monday night into Tuesday morning.  Even though they have major home renovations going on.  At the moment they have the sheet rock up on the walls and the guy doing the spackling.  So there was no major major work being done at that moment. That enabled us to use their finished basement for the night. 
We came home on Tuesday morning and it was dry and not tooo smelly. We didn't move the furniture to give it another day to dry just in case and we needed the molding replaced around the walls at the floor.
Building manager said they would be over this morning (Wednesday) at 9am to do the floor molding. Ok, I said.
10am and they didn't show. Hubby calls the manager to find out the deal.  Turns out they don't have any molding and need it special ordered cuz of the cut of the molding.  We looked at the remaining molding and cursed the manager cuz its not so special.  He's just a lazy bastard, that was extremely unprepared and sucks at his job.
So now they are promised to be here tomorrow morning to do the molding.  Hmmm.. we'll see.
