Another "Deadline" Missed

A month ago Liane had a conversation with the Project Manager in which they discussed completion time. He suggested it would be in a week or two. She wanted to make sure it would be done by Thanksgiving. He laughingly said that would be no problem.

At that time we thought we might have guests for Thanksgiving. I told her she was nuts for giving him the actual deadline -- they'd never hit it. I suggested one two weeks prior (never mind the commentary that goes with having to make up deadlines one knows will be missed).

It's Thanksgiving now. The easy to hit deadline has been missed. Here are a few things that aren't complete:

1. Grout still not sealed in shower
2. Some trim still not painted
3. Glass not installed for shower
4. Some lights in bathroom still don't work (not connected?)
5. Heated floor system has no power yet (I verified this hasn't been connected at the breaker box)
6. No carpet for screened porch
7. Electrical outlets not installed in screened porch

And this doesn't even begin to address all the things that are wrong and will have to be redone.

What a joke (a not very funny one).
