More Problems With Jayman Innovations

Progress:

I was expecting this blog to be done by now because this blog was set up for friends and family to see the progress of the house.  Now it seems it is turning into a blog to warn people NOT to build with Jayman Innovations, or anything Jayman really.  I am very sad to say that I don't have any good new for this update as that is the theme lately I guess.  Here's the update:

- Remember that clean air option that I talked about last time and how they didn't really believe me that they didn't install it.  Well they made an appointment to come fix it (or so I thought).  What ended up happening is they got the guy to come in to check if we had the two stage furnace.  Well, gee wiz people, that is the only item from our upgrade that we actually had!!  Good thing I kept the paper that lists what came with the upgrade because we didn't have a single item on it other than the furnace and that was a $5,000 upgrade.  Very con-artist like of them.  The Weiss Johnson guy was exceptional.  He not only has made it so that all my parts will be in he has scheduled a time for Sunday that he will come in (odd how Weiss Johnson can work around my work schedule and Jayman can't (even though it's their f**k ups i'm missing work for) and I didn't even spend the price of a house with Weiss Johnson for them to do that.  I have nothing but good things to say about Weiss Johnson (see, i'm not always negative lol).

- The plumber came in yesterday as well to fix the master bathtub and it went smoothly but now our toilets make this weird sound when we flush it and I'm hoping that maybe he just didn't turn the water on fully but we'll see.

- While I was home yesterday, it was raining, and I found that the third floor balcony door/window leaks.  I've contacted Jayman and they think it's the windows.  The leak is in the doorway/slider area but it also seems to be leaking right where the carpet meets the wood under the window (not coming down from the window but underneath the wood).  The other weird thing is it's not just wet right under the window but over the couple hours of it leaking there were wet spots a few inches from the window and not touching each other.  So Jayman has to set up a meeting with me and the All Weather Windows (which I doubt very much it was their installation that screwed it up but we'll see) and I bet you money they are going to say they can't do it unless it's during my working hours.

This door has not been opened.  The sliding door is on the right hand side and it slides to where that water is.

Right in front of my fingers is all extremely wet carpet.  3 inches from that is the wet spots.

- One more big kicker of a problem.  So they pour our concrete pad for us and then we build our own garage later.  So when they came by to pour it they only poured part of it and then left.  This would probably have been fine if they had come back right away and not waited three plus hours and it had dried enough that my friend could STAND on it without making prints!!  Anyone knows even a smidgen about concrete knows this is EXCEPTIONALLY bad!!  To anyone that doesn't the simplified version of this is that you basically now have two layers of concrete...two seperate layers...and those two separate layers are going to move, expand, etc at different rates which is bad when there is going to be a building on top.  I am hoping that they will change this because if they don't fix it and we build a garage on it and if they moved in the worst way and caused structural damage to the garage what am I suppose to do years down the road sue them because they didn't fix it in the first place?  Not a fan of that option at all.

Dry Concrete...lovely.

-  Oh, here's a weird one.  So we have a square island that we don't have a sink in.  The lights that are above the island and they are small hanging lights that are three across in a horizontal line.  They are not centre to the island but they are installed like there should be a sink (if there were a sink there the lights would be right above them and it would make sense).  The bigger problem which is more of a safety problem is that the big hanging light that would be over your dining room table is over so far to the island that you can't centre it over your table EVEN if you had the smallest table you could buy.  There is no way even with a tiny table that you could seat guests on this side of the table unless you move the table off centre.  You have to move it off centre enough that even average height people will still smash their heads on it if their not careful.

Oh!!  The Weiss Johnson guy is also going to fix the slam slam slam that I talked about yesterday where Jayman told me to get a ladder and do it myself even though I specifically asked about it before I got the upgrade.
