Slow progress on the garages.

I stopped by my son's new house and garages and not a lot of work completed in the last two weeks. One guy was there and just beginning work on the bathroom tiles. Drywall work almost complete inside the house and 95% of the exterior walls complete except for painting. The installed OSB on all the inside garage walls and also the ceilings which suprised me. I would rahter have had drywall on the ceilings so if there is a leak you would know pretty quickly. Half the garage ceiling is 16'-9" high so they must have used scaffolding. I hope they will paint the OSB using Kilz primer before they paint so the glues don't bleed through the paint. No concrete work done on the driveway up to both garages (one is attached to the house for everyday cars). No finish site work done either. My son added two windows that were not on the origional drawings and they arrived and are framed out for installation. I don't see how they can finish middle of March on the promised date. My guess is still mid April.

If your not running the job yourself then you can expect it to be over budget and well behind the original projected finish date.

Unfortunately that's what residential construction in the US has come down to, for the most part. There only seems to be 1 out of 100 decent contractors anymore and 1 out of 1000 reliable subs..
