Back and Forth

Today we’re actually meeting with the owner of the apartment. I just hope that once we have a chance to speak to her directly, the process will get easier.

Not sure how to gauge this. The owner came and looked at things, measured the stove, commented on things, and gave her workers orders… but only a few little things got done today. So basically her real estate guy was half working, didn’t communicate well with her and, while we aren’t on square one, we also aren’t much beyond it. Oy.

We hadn’t been gone for 5 minutes when we received a call saying the owner was there with the carpenter and needed to take measurements. Argh!

We went back to let her in and let her know that this back and forth was just not OK. This time we explained just how many times we had been called back and forth to open the door, and the 30 minutes to an hour that we had to wait each time. She apologized and assured us that would no longer be the case. I want to believe her, really I do, but what are the chances?
