They were supposed to dig and pour the new peirs today for the new house,been watching the local weather all morning,because we had some clouds when I got up,they were saying sprinkles to light rain between 1 and 4 this after noon.
Sitting here right now with heavy rain/wind and hail! GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRR:mad:

They could have done this on Friday,but he decided to put it off till today due to a chance of rain Friday night.

Man that bad, buck up lil-sis at least you own horses :D

Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[crashdive123]

I know it's got to be frustrating, but hang in there. If they stall on you just tell them..... now what's that saying? Oh yeah....

That will be the least of my verbage to him,if he pi**es me off,and he is getting there quickly,LOL I have come down with shingles from the stress,and I am not in a good humor right now:mad::D

[Ole WV Coot]

Good Luck, hate to hear that I have to wait until fall just to get another garage/workshop built. If I get shingles wonder if I could give them to the roof??

[Rick]

My dad had those once. You have my empathy!

[Riverrat]

Good luck and "ouch", lol.

[BraggSurvivor]

Take it cool nell, your health is the most important thing to remember! You have a long way to go as this is just the foundation.

Maybe better to rent a RV and live onsite as construction progresses? Might make you feel better to see your house go up. That's what I'd do. ;)

[dragonjimm]

i agree with bragg...maybe not an rv....but being on youre own property would definitely cheer you up. at least through the week.

[Ridge Wolf]

Patience my dear.. or you could always camp on his parking lot.:D

[crashdive123]

Nell - do you think the neighbors would mind if a bunch of us came over, built a nice teepee and "supervised" the re-build?

Bring it on,I'd welcome it,and I dont care what the neighbors would think,LOL!

[nell67]

Finally,the piers are dug and poured,but not without much aggrivation ,I had to bite my tonuge and walk away,what a moron this guy is,and he has been doing this for years???:rolleyes: now they just gotta cure before they can move the house up on'em,oh,and they pulled the new house in and dropped it off,( in the way I might add) and this caused the afore mentioned moron to turn quite red first thing this morning,knew it wouldn't be a good day.

[crashdive123]

Good luck. Is there like a head moron that can do anything to get the worker moron doing it right?

[crashdive123]

Ooopps. Sorry to hear that.

[nell67]

Ooopps. Sorry to hear that.

me too.....:mad:

[BraggSurvivor]

Is he the moron for the whole move and completion or just for the pilings portion?

[Ridge Wolf]

the head moron didn't pour the concrete right?:confused: You don't have to be a moron to pour concrete in a hole do you? I thought those mobiles were on slabs?... or at least the one we lived in at one time was.

Oh, I get it... the anchor piers. Well, you still don't have to be a moron to pour concrete in a hole. :eek:

[nell67]

Is he the moron for the whole move and completion or just for the pilings portion?
Just for the foundation part,they finish up today by spreading gravel and leveling,then the movers will move the house to where it will sit,then another group will come in and set it up.

Pouring the concrete wasn't the problem,getting the pier holes dug out for correctly for the size of the home is what his issue was,he was off on the four corner piers,and he threw a hissy when the inspector made him dig them out larger ( dig a second hole at each corner). He said it was because the blueprint of the house was not correct in meaurement,but HALF of the house was already sitting there on the property,he could very easily have walked over,measured it.

You got a digital camera? or can get access to one? I'd (we'd all) like to see this installation. :D

[dragonjimm]

a full blown hissy or a drama queen type...did he huff and throw stuff or did he just turn red and stomp off. :confused:

Do we have a choice of hissy fits?

Geez, anyone here ever heard that one before? That's right up there with "the check's in the mail" You can tell the guys that know what they're doing, they don't blame things on the blueprints.

Ridge,picture number 3 seems to sum it up nicely,and to sum up my stress level in all this crap,I told the mobile home company to come get the (*^%&*$#)& house off the property today,gee, a female gets a little pi$$ed,and things start going a little more smoothly:eek::rolleyes::D

Hmmm, you don't want the new mobile now? or just move it someplace else for the time being?

[nell67]

LOL,Everyone else was having a hissy fit,so I decided to throw one myself when they couldn't seem to get anything right. Just tired of all the stupidity going on at the site.But it seemed to work because they sure changed their tune and started playing by the rules,I guess it boils down to these guys have spent years doing it their way,and not having to follow the requirements to set up homes in other counties,but the insector here is hard nosed about dotting the i's and crossing the t's here,and it's going to be done by the book,or it's not going to be done.

[crashdive123]

Sounds like you have "talked some sense" into them. When are you supposed to be able to move in?
