So - it seems like Mark B is out of the picture - we haven't heard from him in about a month. Maybe 3 weeks. So we've taken things into our own hands. Because the foundation hole was sitting there for 8 weeks, with no foundation, we had some erosion that had to be cleaned up before the concrete footings could be poured. This was unfortunate as we are essentially paying for the same work twice. Nevertheless, we hired a local guy named Jay Palermo to do the work and he's done a great job and been very helpful in getting us moving. Jay is also a builder and will be submitting a bid to complete the job. Once the hole was cleaned up, Hampton Concrete came in and poured the footings for the foundation and then on Friday set the walls. On Monday they will pour the walls and Tuesday they will be broken down and we will tar the outside of the foundation to waterproof it.
So we're half way through our contractor nightmare...we seem to have shed the dead weight - now we just have to get our deposit back...there's a TV expose in this somewhere. Anyone have connections to Dateline NBC?
