The Next Goof…

December 30th, 2008

Once the cribbing was done, then we had to get the foundations up. Of course this seemed to go great! However, once we pulled the frames off the concrete, I saw that the window frames had been hard-set into the concrete. This is really a stupid thing to do in most circumstances, because you can’t change the frames or windows after that. And (naturally) they put the wrong frames in. Therefore we had to have them bring in the windows to fit the frames they had set - and they paid the difference, since the windows they set were slightly more expensive than that ones that I had ordered. These guys just made an assumption based on the drawings and the window sizes - they knew who I was talking to about windows, but didn’t realize that I had ordered the final set from another supplier and had never really ordered from the original company I was speaking with. That was because the same size windows were cheaper from someone else. Go figure…
