...I thought I had made it clear to my PB that I wasn't going to be available next week and I wanted to see what they were doing with the stone or they would have to wait until the following week; somehow the message was lost in translation at the crew level. After some discussion with the builder (on the phone) he sent one of the guys back to the yard to bring some stone out to do a sample run. I think we got everything cleared up but I do have some trepidation about them working without me to supervise next week, especially since I had to stop them from putting the 6" tile into the spa where the 1x1" tile is supposed to go (which they forgot to bring).
the whole process will be like this. We finally had to tell our PB that nothing could be done unless we were home. drains and pop-ups were obviously not in line, cracked pavers being installed, the wrong travertine being delivered. The on-site crew was totally clueless in our build. the PB manager only comes by once a week to see what got screwed up and has to be redone, and if you wait for that, you will lose weeks as stuff is redone, especially if it is post-gunite or mortar.
Can you slip in a pic of the horses and dogs?

If they workers are working that long and hard with no shade it might be beneficial to make sure they have plenty of cold water and maybe some snacks too. If you are treating them to some goodies then they will be happy to be there and will probably work even harder!!
