Day 83-86

I had a talk with David about the windows. In all honesty, the mix-up itself was not a big deal. For me the big deal was that he didn’t take responsibility for the mistake and said it was our fault. I’m just not thrilled with that at all. When I spoke with him I said something such as, “What’s going on with the windows?” He restated the mix-up was our fault and I said it wasn’t and I had read through our e-mails to figure that out. He said he had too and couldn’t figure out why we changed the window size. Instead of telling him I had the e-mail to prove it I just said he should have given Lazaro the window order so he would have had the correct sizes. After I said that he told me it wasn’t a big deal anyway. (I agree, but why can’t he take responsibility?) I told him it was a big deal to us because of the time we’re being billed to have it fixed. He said something along the lines that it took Lazaro ten minutes to make the window openings smaller. I said he had been working on the windows for a half day the previous day and three hours that morning. David said he was doing other things to the windows. At that point I said goodbye and went back to work. He knew I was not happy with him.


Day 84 started and ended in about an hour. Hurricane Ike was on his way, so the day before I asked if David would install the metal support pole that had been in our garage the past couple days. I said I knew Austin would probably be fine, but just in case Ike made a turn I’d feel better having the support in place. Lazaro showed up, installed the pole, tidied up around the site so things wouldn’t blow away, and then left.

Below is a photo of the lovely metal support pole and all the stuff we moved into the garage in case we got winds from Ike. Included is our neighbor's scooter.
