This is more of a reference for storing the work schedule of the installers rather than anything else.
Windows
- Nov. 17 – installation begins – demolition may have begun on some windows and casing began but no new windows installed. Paul from Adams Home Exteriors inventoried windows and found one was broken and that there were at least 4 more that were mis-ordered (arrived with wood grain that yet should have been white).
- Nov. 20 – they installed the 7 wood grain windows on the first floor (the ones that need to be re-ordered due to damage and/or bad seams) and 2 windows in the basement. Noticed the caulk being applied to dirty aprons and the gauges and bad seams on the wood grain windows.
- Installation stopped at this point. Lowe’s re/ordered 19 windows due to arrive “mid-December.”
Siding – Adams Home Exteriors – Lafe is the only siding installer. He arrives at the work site around 9 am each of the days they are working and usually leave by 3/3:30 pm each day (one exception so far).
- Nov. 21 – installation was to begin but could not since most of the windows had to be re-ordered. We relented and are allowing Adams Home Exteriors to begin work without the windows being done because Lowes and Adams promised to extend the installation, and Stacey (Lowe’s) would work hard to get price discounts due to the problems – including the price reduction to white windows from wood grain).
- Nov. 27 and 28 – installation was to begin Nov 25, but Adams Home Exteriors could not begin until Nov. 29. The entire windows and siding project was to be completed November 28.
- Nov. 29 – began pulling off siding – 3-man team
- Nov. 30 – more siding removal – 2-man team (from here out until Dec 13)
- Dec. 1 – At the end of the day, no siding has yet to be installed. Some Tyvek has been installed
- Dec. 2 – no work – they aren’t working weekends
- Dec. 4 –
- Dec. 5 – didn’t work – one helper may have been on site but no discernible work done
- Dec. 6 –
- Dec. 7 – workers stayed until about 6pm to “catch up”
- Dec. 8 – installers went against a request to only work on the short wall if they had a new kitchen vent. They installed a bathroom vent for the dryer (cheap louvered kind) and just painted the rusted kitchen vent, i.e., they made a change without approving with the homeowner.
- Dec. 9 – they said they would come if it wasn’t for the snow
- Dec. 11 – didn’t work – Lafe (the siding lead) texted that he had a medical emergency. I met with Shawn Adams and he said they would redo the kitchen and dryer vents as requested.
- Dec. 12 – didn’t work – no idea why
- Dec. 13 – only Lafe working – I heard that the helper quit – this means one person is doing the installation by himself. I contacted both Shawn Adams and Stacey Skelton and no responses. Saw no discernible work but scaffolding on the kitchen wall was raised.
- Dec. 14 – installer worked until 5pm
