Daily Home Renovation Tips日常家庭裝修秘訣

Well, January 8th arrives and we receive a phone call around 9 am.好， 1月8日抵京，我們接到電話上午9點左右。 It is the installer.這是安裝程序。 He states that he is running late but should be at our house by 10:30-ish.他說，他是跑較晚，但應該在我們的房子由10:30的流線型設計。 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.我提醒他，我告訴保羅的安裝公司承包，是由大盒子建設供應零售商，以實際安裝我們的大門，我必須離開，在下午2時，使該裝置已被做了，到那時候。

10:30 comes and goes. 10:30來去去。

11:00 comes and goes. 11:00來去去。

11:15 comes and goes. 11:15來去去。

I call the installer back on his cell phone.我要求安裝人員回到他的手機。 He does not answer it.他不回答。

11:30 comes and goes. 11:30來去去。

I’m getting very nervous.我碰到很緊張。 We were told by both Paul and the installer who called that the installation should take about 2 hours, accounting for any unforseen issues.我們被告知，由雙方保羅和安裝那些所謂的，在安裝需時約2小時，佔任何不可預見的問題。 I have to leave at 2 pm for the airport.我想離開，在下午二時，為機場。

11:45 comes. 11:45的到來。

I call the building supply company.我請建築供應公司。 Why not Paul of the installation company?為什麼不是保羅的安裝公司？ Well, my contract is with the building supply company, not Paul’s installation company.那麼，我的合同是與建築供應公司，而不是保羅的安裝公司。

I finally am able to speak to someone who told me that the installation is not going to happen to day.最後，我很能講，以有人跟我說，安裝是不會發生的，以一天。 Apparently the installers do not already have the door, door frame, etc. with them the night before the installation.顯然安裝工人沒有現成的門，門框等，與它們的前一天晚上安裝。 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，他們去到建立供應零售商上午安裝回升門，框，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.一旦到了那裡，安裝程序看大門和測量，並著手向建設供應公司，有一個不正確門檻部分與門。 He indicated that the door could not be installed without the correct threshold part.他表示，這扇門，否則將無法安裝沒有正確的門檻部分。

So, the installer we are told left the building supply retailer for another job.因此，安裝人員告訴我們，離開大廈供應零售商另一份工作。 He didn’t call us to advise us.他沒有打電話向我們提供意見。 That’s unfortunate, and a little disrespectful we think.這是不幸的，有點不敬，我們認為。

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. ，很顯然，建立供應零售商的負責人，安裝服務感到他不得不採取午餐，然後打電話給我們，讓我們知道。 Oh well.哦。

So, no new door today, January 8th.所以，沒有新的大門，今天， 1月8日。 Yet another delay.又一次拖延。

New installation date (after having to contact Paul, again)?新的安裝日期（後向聯繫保羅，再次） ？ 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.三個半月自公佈之日起，該命令;四個月自公佈之日起大門測量秩序。

You see, here is the problem.你看，這裡就是問題所在。 The building supply retailer only wanted to deal with one single installation company.建設供應零售商只是想處理一個單一安裝公司。 If they had a backup installation company we likely not have been in the long wait time for our door.如果他們有一個備份安裝公司，我們可能不會有，在漫長的等待時間，我們的大門。

But, we found out we were lied to.但是，我們發現我們被欺騙。 What lie?什麼謊言？ Well, the installer is not an employee of the installation company where Paul works.好了，安裝程序是不是一個僱員的安裝公司那裡保羅工程。 The actual installer is an independent contractor.實際安裝程序是一個獨立的承包商。 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.因此，我們是一個的情況下，我們與其簽訂的建設供應零售商，他們的合同與安裝公司，他們的合同與獨立承辦。

Geesh. geesh 。
