Sanity check

Waiting on a response from my installer about this …

Just come back from holiday to a bunch of emails

Scaffolding was meant to go up Wednesday ( 2 days time ) and install was Monday of next week

Emails state new install date 5 September!!!
Scaffolding going up 28th August

What am i missing here ? Already waited since april 8th to hear back from DNO

Just venting here but is
Bluddy jokes to wait another 8 weeks

Should i cancel the whole agreement? Prices have gone up
In the meantime so the installer got me over a barrell right ?

TIA

Thanks in advance.
