JULY 29TH - SEPTIC STARTED

We went out to check on things and they started on the septic today and should finish up Thursday. 

Our field manager ran over the schedule and it looks promising.  The carpenter should be here this week and the island is to be installed.  Electrician should be in to finish next week and the flooring should start going down next week or the week after.  Things should start moving at a better pace now that we have electricity. 

My hope was to be in before school started August 23rd but doesn't look like it.  So my hopes are that we are in before the end of August. 

JULY 26TH - WE HAVE ELECTRIC !!!!!!!!!!!

OH MY GOD WE HAVE ELECTRIC!!!!!

Drove by and we seen 2 big trucks and a pickup parked so we kept our fingers crossed, you don't know what other reason they might give you.  But we came back and they where done.

We started the AC unit to start the drying out process and get the humidity levels down. 

Thought the septic guys would be out Thursday no, thought Friday no.  Well hope his out there this week. 

Boy, it seems that's all I do is HOPE this and HOPE that.  I would like to say this is happening and this is getting done but...........no just HOPES!

JULY 25TH - STILL NO ELECTRIC

We ran out to check on everything to find that no one from AEP was there.  All they had to do is put the transformer up and run the wire to the house.  I know to me it seems easy and simple and shouldn't take that long but come on your almost there.  So again I called left messages...."Well its Thursday and I still have no electric"  I tried to use my nice, patient voice but it was hard.  They told me they had an accident and had to send their crew to another location.  Looks like it to me that they need to hire a few more people. 

Again, nothing going on at the house. 

JULY 23RD - 24TH

Well AEP was out to install the poles on Tuesday and on Wednesday they ran the wire.......we are getting closer, but still NO electric. 

JULY 22ND - SAD DAY

Well, we stopped by to find that we had been broken into. That really sucks!!  They even took my jugs of water that I had to clean the steel beam and they took bottles of water that Wayne left after the open house......really?  They even broke a basement window but didn't come in that way and after they took what they wanted they even locked the sliding glass door downstairs before they left.....strange.
I hope they catch the people that did this, but I'm not holding my breath that we will get our stuff back. 

JULY 15TH - AC UNIT INSTALLED

Glad to see something happening at the house.  Its the beginning of the 4th week that nothing really hasn't been done around the house.  Just a few things here and there but nothing big and nothing that's really going to get us in the house in the next few weeks.  And we where moving along so well not the case now.

JULY 15TH - NEW FIELD MANAGER

I got a call and was told that our field manager is no longer with the company and we have been assigned another manager.  Great, I'm a little disappointed but what are you going to do. 

NO ELECTRIC = AEP SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  WHERE IS THE CUSTOMER SERVICE, LETS MAKE THE CUSTOMER HAPPY........WELL NOT WITH AEP.  THEY JUST WANT YOUR MONEY AND THEY DONT CARE IF THEY HAVE PUT EVERYONE INVOLVED IN BUILDING YOUR DREAM HOME ON HOLD. 

JULY 11TH - WELL DRILLING

The well was done today.  They didn't have to go as far as they thought and they said we will have more water then we will ever need and his guess we should get 25 gallons per minute, which is good.  Also, they told us that the water seems to be good water with no odor but will be tested later. 

ALSO, NO ELECTRIC EITHER :( .  WAS TOLD THIS WEEK AND AGAIN ANOTHER LIE. BOY THEY SURE NEEDED OUR MONEY BEFORE THEY COULD DO ANYTHING AND WELL 10 WEEKS LATER NO ELECTRIC.  AEP........SUCKS!

JULY 2ND FINISHED PLUMBING

Well there hasn't been a lot going on at the house. They did finish the plumbing, put in sinks, faucets but that's all. Still NO electric. So looks like we are at a stand still. It's so aggravating that one thing can shout down the whole process. Hope to have better news next week.

JUNE 24 TO JUNE 28TH

Nothing being done this week.  No electric either. They did come in and do a rough grade around the house.  They had a open house on Sunday and it seemed to go very well.  I stopped by at one point and 6 cars of people where in looking at the house.  I hope people liked my changes. 

JUNE 21ST - STAINED INTERIOR DOORS

They came in and stained all the doors and they really look nice.
Still NO electric :(   They will not install any floor coverings until we have electric to run the AC to get rid of the humidity in the house.
