We are working with a small handyman company
The guy does jobs on the side while working full time for another larger construction company. He says his boss at the large company is fine with his side work.
So he hires other people to work on his projects. Beginning of July we asked him to do a roof, windows, screen doors, and exterior painting of our house.

Roof went fine but we are still waiting on the windows and painting. Lots of issues - windows took forever to arrive, one screen door was the wrong size, crew members had family issues, guys girlfriend had a baby end of Aug.

Just heard tonight that we are delayed another week on windows after being promised tomorrow.

Would you (or should we ask for) offer a reduced amount from the labor quoted? Getting frustrated and Midwest weather makes me nervous about the painting.

Thanks for any advice

Painting the interior of the house. Started with bedrooms 1st coat yesterday. This am hubby looks at the rooms and declared “this is just shitty paint”. We are using Hirschfields classic Top scrub in eggshell. A darker color over a lighter. He’s not happy but we are doing coat #2 today whether he likes it or not lol. 😆

Previously used sherwin Williams emerald. Should I use sherwin again? I am aware of the need for proper prep (clean and scuff sand). Do I really need a bonding primer too ?

When you got it again were you able to discern the symptoms early? Right now every itch, tingle, dull pain I feel in the same area I freak out thinking I’m getting an outbreak again.

Opening night is in 4 days. Cast of 25 kids and 15 adults - all mic’d.
Full dress rehearsals either lighting and a live pit of musicians.

How, for the love of Pete, do you get these kids to understand they can’t talk backstage when not in the scene and they can’t scream and chatter in the dressing room with the mics live?

I’ve tried, (adult cast member) other adults have tried and it’s just ignored.

I know I need them- still on the fence about making the appointment after getting my hearing test.
Maybe a silly ? But after wearing them all day and you take them out to go to bed do you feel like you won’t be able to hear anything while sleeping? In terms of feeling safe?
