+# Issues
+
+We've had some hiccups along the way, so I just wanted to start list of issues we've had with the general contractor and sub contractors so they're not forgotten in case we need it.
+
+**Management**
+- General contractor has only been by the site once to check up on work - after the trusses were installed
+- Assistant to GC has only been by four times 
+  - got upset when we requested that a sub look at the broken sewer line
+- Not much supervision of subs
+- Communication lackluster
+  - quotes and invoicing incomplete
+  - requested payment before work was completed
+- Timeliness 
+  - slow pace - some contractors will work for just a couple of hours a day for a week.
+- Broken Sewer Line
+  - blowout line crushed by one of the haul off trucks or the lift equipment
+- Subcontractors
+  - contractor shit in our backyard - dog was eating something and noticed the roll of toilet paper
+  - contractors peeing in our driveway
+  - contractor puked in the yard because he came hungover
+  - left food trash in buckets upstairs that caused a bug infestation
+- had to drive over to GA to confirm quartz because couldn't get what was promised
+- 
+
+**Craftsmanship**
+
+- left a pile of debris in the yard for three months
+- left the old sliding door in the yard for two months
+- we personally hauled off several loads of trash
+- drywall not consistent or square in spots
+  - dropping drywall at hvac intake
+  - not square where the corners meet
+  - didn't use the waterproof type throughout the bathroom
+  - make patches where it should have been an entire board replaced
+- ripped out a closet that didn't need to be removed
+- threw away good materials and unnecessary demo
+- broke glass into the yard by tossing shower doors over the ledge
+- didn't plug the two HVAC vents that were ducted into the closed ceiling
+- didn't patch the ceiling until months after the trusses installed
+  - $600 heating cost to heat ceiling area
+- don't clean up after work
+  - sawdust in the drive
+  - trash in yard
+- broken hardware on bifold doors
+- paint on tile floor
+
+**Costs**
+
+- Requested payment before work was completed
+  - saying that y'all 'had a lot of money' out there
+- promissed to charge costs on materials

 **24/10/05** - Hurricane Helene rolled through last week and did some damage mainly from the three and a half ton oak tree that fell on the house. I'm taking photos and making notes here to keep up with the details. I wrote up a post @ [/posts/hurricane-helene](/posts/hurricane-helene) and published additional damage and construction photos ๐Ÿ“ท @ [/wha/glenridge/#helene](https://davidawindham.com/wha/glenridge/#helene) 
 
+*This project spurred on two additional projects because we decided to renovate the bathroom in the process and we had to move my office for the work. We're using the same general contractor and I'm documenting them separately @ [/notes/house/bath](Bath) & [/notes/house/studio](/notes/house/studio)
 
 
+## ToDo
+
+- upper deck & railings
+- gutters replaced
+- chimney chaise windshield & caps
+- exterior Paint - touch up other tree damaged spots on chase siding
+- exterior paint - touch up after gutter replacement
+- issues @ [notes/house/helene/issues](notes/house/helene-issues.md)
