Daily Home Renovation Tips每日家装修秘诀

Well, January 8th arrives and we receive a phone call around 9 am.那么， 1月8日抵达，我们接到电话上午9时左右。 It is the installer.这是安装程序。 He states that he is running late but should be at our house by 10:30-ish. I remind him that I told Paul of the installation company who is contracted by the big box building supply retailer to actually install our door that I have to leave at 2 pm so the installation has to be done by that time.我想提醒他，我告诉保罗的安装公司，谁是承包的大方块建设供应零售商，其实安装我们的大门，我要离开下午2时，以便安装需要做的，当时。

10:30 comes and goes. 10时30分来和去。

11:00 comes and goes. 11点来和去。

11:15 comes and goes. 11时15分来和去。

I call the installer back on his cell phone.我呼吁安装回对他的手机。 He does not answer it.他不回答。

11:30 comes and goes. 11时30分来和去。

I’m getting very nervous.我收到很紧张。 We were told by both Paul and the installer who called that the installation should take about 2 hours, accounting for any unforseen issues.告诉我们，无论保罗和安装谁认为，所谓的安装应需时约2小时，占任何不可预见的问题。 I have to leave at 2 pm for the airport.我要离开下午2时为机场。

11:45 comes. 11时45分的到来。

I call the building supply company.我呼吁建设供应公司。 Why not Paul of the installation company?为什么不保罗的安装公司？ Well, my contract is with the building supply company, not Paul’s installation company.那么，我的合同是与建设供应公司，而不是保罗的安装公司。

I finally am able to speak to someone who told me that the installation is not going to happen to day.最后，我很能讲某人谁跟我说，安装是不会发生的一天。 Apparently the installers do not already have the door, door frame, etc. with them the night before the installation.显然安装工人不已经有门，门框等，与他们的前一天晚上安装。 Instead, they go to the building supply retailer the morning of the installation to pick up the door, frame, materials and so on.相反，他们去建设，供应零售商上午安装回升的大门，帧中继，材料等。 Once there, the installer looked at the door and the measurements and proceeded to tell the building supply company that there was an incorrect threshold part with the door.一旦有，安装程序看大门和测量，并着手向建设供应公司有一不正确阈值的一部分，与大门。 He indicated that the door could not be installed without the correct threshold part.他表示，大门无法安装没有正确的阈值的一部分。

So, the installer we are told left the building supply retailer for another job.因此，安装程序告诉我们，离开了建设供应零售商再就业。 He didn’t call us to advise us.他并没有要求我们向我们提供意见。 That’s unfortunate, and a little disrespectful we think.这是不幸的，有点不敬，我们认为。

And, apparently, the building supply retailer’s person in charge of installation services felt he had to take lunch before calling us to let us know.和，很显然，建立供应零售商的负责人，安装服务感到他不得不采取的午餐之前，打电话给我们，让我们知道。 Oh well.哦。

So, no new door today, January 8th.因此，没有新的大门，今天， 1月8日。 Yet another delay.又一次延误。

New installation date (after having to contact Paul, again)? January 16th. 1月16日。

Three and a half months from the date of the order; 4 months from the date of the door measurements order.三个半月自公布之日起，该命令;四个月自公布之日起的大门，测量秩序。

You see, here is the problem.你看，这里就是问题所在。 The building supply retailer only wanted to deal with one single installation company.建设供应零售商只是想处理一个单一安装公司。 If they had a backup installation company we likely not have been in the long wait time for our door.如果他们有一个备份安装公司，我们可能不会已在漫长的等待时间，为我们的大门。

But, we found out we were lied to.但是，我们发现我们被欺骗了。 What lie?是什么在哪里？ Well, the installer is not an employee of the installation company where Paul works.那么，安装程序是不是一个雇员，安装公司，郑明训工程。 The actual installer is an independent contractor.实际安装是一个独立的承包商。 So what we have is a situation where we contract with the building supply retailer who contracts with an installation company who contracts with independent contractors.

Geesh. geesh 。
