Today's Peeve Of The Day, Monday 24th October. (house, how to, home)

[Jezer]

Good morning peevers and welcome to the new week.

We're having the hall landing and stairs redecorated soon but before that I want four new doors installed. Unfortunately the carpenter may not be able to do the work so I may have to find another one. The trouble is that often when you are looking to remodel a home there is a chain of people required to finish the job and if one link goes missing it has a knock-on effect.

Today's peeve;

'One link in a chain' creating problems along the line.

You need a "Jack of all Expertizes: No such animal! Everyone does his or her little thing.. I can remember doing my job along with others so another wasn't required... Everyone these days have a narrowly defined job. Sad but true!

Very frustrating indeed. Lots of times now businesses here will have a few different subtrades working for them to help the chain keep moving. Seems to work very well. One thing I have learned about construction is that nothing gets completed on time for a variety of different reasons--and some of them are very good reasons. Good peeve Jezer.

There is always one in every family.

If the carpenter can't do it I'll do it myself. Actually, I'd not call a carpenter to hang doors. It's not that difficult when done correctly and there are instructions and videos on the web.

Pick a video from over 41,000...

Absolutely!! I can totally relate to that. The electricians cant rough a house till the a/c guys get their duct work in (theyve been known to cut our wires if they get in the way) yet some a/c guys have to wait for the plumbers to finish their job so they can route their stuff accordingly....and if framing isnt done, well join the list of wait-ees....

Agree. But I had to chuckle, you calling it the "knock-on effect".
We call it the "domino effect".

I hope thing go smoothly, Jezer.

Good day All.

It bothers me to have to pay anyone for anything when it comes to some sort of service that carries some level of satisfaction attached to it!

I mean really give me a break!
