Whats one MORE week?

Its beginning to feel like we won't ever move in. Every single out-sourced job we've had has been a week ..or more behind.  The roof was installed a week late.  The drywall was almost 2 weeks late. The wood floor guys...were a week late... AND...well, they jacked up our floors. 

After a few ..very frustrating couple days...we have a plan.  Of course, most of you don't even know what happened.  Let me catch you up.

About two weeks ago..our floors were completely installed( by the hubster)..and they looked stellar.  Here is an example to refresh your memory:


This is the floor completely installed in the dining room. :)

So hubster did a great job...and we were VERY excited to start seeing some color....DARK color on those beautiful floors.  The Amish ( of course we chose the Amish again)  came... (a week late)...to begin their job of finishing the floors.  

 The process was started and we couldn't have been more excited.  We spent the next few days watching our floor transform...and wow...we were pumped.  PUMPED..UNTIL, we saw the coat of poly..which brought to life ALL of the mistakes they made during the sanding phase.  It was...shocking.  We were beside ourselves...trying to decide if we were over-reacting..or if we were getting the short end of the stick.

So, we called in a favor from a lady we had used on the wood floors in our old house. ( we LOVED how they turned out). We had her come out and give her opinion on the floors.  She agreed we were not crazy...and that the floors looked...not.so.good. :( She actually recommended we NOT PAY the bill....unless they agreed to do it again..for free.

The mistakes are not easy to see on camera...but this is what the floors looked like at the completion of the job:

  

  Did you notice the beautiful new lights my hubster hung last nite?  :)  We waited until black friday..went they went on sale...and we snatched them up!  Oh..and yes, you heard me correctly...he went black friday shopping with me :)

Back to the wood floors.  The owner of the wood floor company met Adam this morning to take a look at our floors...and they "chatted" :)  As of ONE hour ..after their conversation...our floors are being REDONE. (not sure if I need a happy or sad face there)

So..all of that to say...the floors are jacked.  We need them redone.  They take about a week or so to do...and well... what's ONE MORE WEEK?!?!

and..YES...I'm STILL living a BLESSED life...cause God is Good...and he's got everything under control.
