The contractor is gone, for now… and the back deck work is finished.
.
.
Well, almost finished.
.
.
And while we now have steps and pretty white skirting….
.
.
You have to be a little careful where you walk.
.
.
Because our builder was slightly off on his calculations….
.
.
And we’re still waiting for the three more boards that had to be special ordered.
.
.
He’s promised not to charge for picking them up or installing them so it’s fine.
.
.
Just be careful when you step out the back door.

He’s very nice, and very honest and does really good work. He’s also very willing which hard yo find around here right now. No one wants to do small jobs like ours…

It’s good to know that your contractor didn’t charge extra for the openings. He probably wouldn’t have charged a hole lot since it’s only temporary, but to paraphrase an old song, sometimes IT’S A LONG WAIT TO TEMPORARY’s end ).

He blames the sales clerk for misrepresenting the size of the boards.

I’ve had more bad luck with contractors undermeasuring boards than anything else.

Yep. Twice now, having wood flooring installed in houses we purchased, they underestimated the correct number of planks and had to leave rooms 93.7% finished.

I think you should leave it as it is. With skylights like that, it has a 5-star quality and ambiance. Woodchucks will be clamoring for a spot.
