They put in "smart" lights, but I don't have a "smart" system, so when it's turned on, sometimes it would search for the "smart" network so it can connect. They're going to send the electrician out to replace the "smart" lights with another type of canless LED lights so we can use a different type of light switches that includes flat remote controls that can be attached with an adhesive (so you can basically add a light switch). The flat remote means that you can put it on the drywall instead of having to worry about studs and, more importantly, gaps between studs. It will also require a different plate around the switch or the multiple switches. Right now, all the switches are the old-fashioned toggle switches. Two thin switches together. This requires a flat, open rectangle and a toggle switch opening.
This was discussed during the final look see. NOW I'm getting a new estimate for concrete from them. They'd heard that I'd called someone, so they stopped the process of getting a bid for the job. Really? They (the person who drafted the contract/salesperson and the guy who usually does their concrete work) were supposed to come to the house to look at the area that I plan to have done in concrete tomorrow. They think they can do this for less than the guy I have but they don't have the equipment to do the excavation work. We'll see what they can do.
My tile guy is coming tomorrow to drop off the tile. He'll have complete access to the new room all of next week with no other workers waking through and trying to get stuff done. (He seems to be the most together of the bunch.) I sent a text to him and the contractor guy to find out if there's a special plan for the space between my daughter's bathroom door and the new room. There's a bit of a threshold and a rise because that door had been treated (according to code(?)) like it was an exterior door. Now that it's an interior door, it probably doesn't need a threshold, although we're keeping the door (with the extra large dog door in it) in place.
Concrete and landscaping seem to be the next big thing because it seeeeeems that the room, which was in existence as a screen room before, can't get a permit for occupancy until the "drainage" issue is addressed. The concrete slab where the room was added has been in place for over twenty years.
Progress?
