Some hope

I walked through our house on Saturday, after the contractor said it would be ready to move back on Monday, and was incredibly disappointed at the poor quality of the work. Floor stain smeared all over all the baseboards, for example. With everything wrong, it feels like they've taken a perfectly good house, with some warped floorboards, and wrecked everything else. I composed a list of 15 problems and sent it off to the contractor on Sunday. Now there's a ray of hope. The contractor printed my email, met me at the house this morning, and methodically addressed each of my concerns. They may yet get it right.
