Subject: Re: TUESDAY 5 OCT 21 by teebee on 2021/10/6 2:16:37 Hey guys, another busy day here. Picked up another complete kitchen cabinet job. An hour meeting with the general contractor (former student) then another hour with the owner to answer questions about the design I did and to give suggestions on a couple other issues they are facing.. I think we got some good solutions. Then back home to create some backsplash for the countertops I installed yesterday. All this time I'm awaiting two delivery truck with materials for other projects. Yesterday FedEx Freight calls me to verify I would be around to receive the one delivery and that I had a way to unload, and what was the latest time for delivery. I assured them I would be around awaiting their call (an hour before delivery) and that I had a fork to unload. So the other delivery, my lumber supplier, the driver said I would be the last drop of the day. So I wait around hoping the calls don't come at the same time. So I finish the backsplash and take it over to install and find I somehow mixed the measurements and have the finished ends on two pieces reversed, and mismeasured another piece, so it's too short and I get to remake that one. So 4 o'clock (my latest time agreed to by us yesterday) rolls around and I still haven't heard from FedEx, so I call them and get a run around saying they had already delivered everything to our town...."So, my delivery is sitting somewhere here in town and the driver NEVER called me?" No, the crate never got on the truck today and maybe, it will be delivered tomorrow.......BS. So, I continue redoing the backsplash pieces and at 5 my pther delivery is here. I get it all unloaded and I say to the driver, "Where's my trim that I ordered?" So he climbes all over looking for it, "It doesn't appear to be on here. I'd like to say it surprises me...but it doesn't. Sorry." I was needing that trim to finish upanother job, was expecting it two weeks ago, but was assured by my salesman, it would be on the truck today. A call to him in the morning to chew some ass is in order. Sorry to write a book here....just venting. |
