Persistent Calling

I was calling Frank Delorbe everyday to finish the hole in the wall that should have been months ago



and they finally got to it.
Here's what they did yesterday...


some cracking but....


Here's what they did today...

Seems alright...now hopefully we can finally arrange the house after about 12-10 months!

More leak tests

Just called Frank and he plans on personally doing a few more leak tests, tomorrow as a precaution. I believe he is going to use the hole in our wall as a gauge for leaks. It will be a crazy day tomorrow. I just hope it is alright since our ceiling is done now. Thank God that old water damaged ceiling of ours has been replaced. I just hope there will be no more leakage.

Light Cover Problem Fixed

A woker arrived around 9:45 am today. And fixed the light cover while I was busy clearing out the room so they could do work on our wall, I asked the worker how he solved the problem. He said that he brought the base down and that it was easy after that.


Smooth clean ceiling with light and cover.

Well it looks like the bathroom is done, but the worker said that Frank still wants to check for leaks or something. But there are no leaks in our bathroom going down. I am assuming the Frank took care of all the ones above us. That is the impression I got from Didio and I am guessing that Delorbe wouldn't continue the construction on our ceiling if their were more leaks above us.

In the meantime I am waiting for them to do the work on the wall which will hopefully be done by today since I start work tomorrow.

Final Coat but not finished...

Final Coat, they did a good job...


Smooth finish but...


They were not able to complete...


Because the screw was too short for to install this cover...


So I guess that and this will be set for Monday. Hopefully it will all be done by then.

Midday /Circuit Breaker

Painting or plaster? I don't know what they are doing but it is looking better. Mrs. Delorbe came in and took pictures as well. They all went out to lunch now.


Looks like a cleaner more even surface...


Pretty smooth...


What does this machine do?


This must be the machine that used too much power...

Twice the power went out and the circuit breaker had to be switched back on. I guess it switches off if too much electric power is being used.

The lighting main turned itself off...interesting...

Hopefully they will also get to the hole in the wall and then construction can be completed by today. I hope that they will also seal up the hole in the corner.

Also tomorrow

This should be finished as well...tomorrow. Hopefully it will all be wrapped up!

SheetRocked

Not looking too bad...


Here's the worm's eye view shot...


This close up is to give the idea of the kind of material the sheet rock is...



I zoom out for scale...


There are to come back early tomorrow morning I am guessing around 9:30am again to finish up...I just hope they seal up areas like this...


...and like this. I tell them about these areas.


They cleaned up pretty well.
