Oh my House!
So 3 weeks ago the inspector came to inspect the roof so that we could get our draw. While he was there, we were putting in the new windows. He said that he was going to put the draw in for the roof & when we were done with the windows to email him the photos & he would turn the draw in for that as well. Now 3 weeks later we find out from the person that actually writes the checks that he didn't have our info. Ernie had to spend yesterday trying to find out where it was, which he did and now the inspector is saying he has to come out & inspect the windows. I know it's not like he didn't seee us putting them in & when he was there we only had 2 windows left to put in. I am so #@&* mad right now. We have (had) a 60 day deadline to meet & now because it has taken 3 weeks to get this 1st draw we won't make it. Of course the inspector says we can just file for an extension but why should I have to? It's not my fault that everyone else involved doesn't find it a priority to get me my money. Not only that, the bank holds back 10% to encourage the contractor to keep to the timeline & budget which the contractor gets at the back end. I don't know what we're supposed to do. We had wanted & would've been able to get this draw, put the kitchen in & get that draw before our next house payment but now we'll be lucky to get this first draw in time to make our next payment which then puts us that much further behind. The timing of everything is so messed up. It's going to be great to have our own place & we don't really have a choice in the matter (my mother-in-law hates that we live with them) but I wish things would have gone a little differently. This is just one of those things that I don't have any control over & I hate that I don't have any control over it. It's not like I can get pissed off at the inspector since he holds the purse strings.
