Since this was a pretty simple project, replacing flooring, and countertops, moving a couple of walls, painting cabinets, and the interior/exterior. I pretty much handed the keys over to my contractor and did not keep a close enough eye on the project. I have a lot of trust in my contractor, mistakes happen but he is very good with what he does and is extremely honest, So all that is required is some communication about what is going wrong, So this is on me. What I overlooked was the laundry box, one of the hoses was left on there and I didn’t take any notice of it until we were in the process of setting up an Airbnb. I wanted to put fresh hoses for the washer and the only one was completely rusted on. I spent a full day using heat, oil, and elbow grease and it did not budge. Eventually, I cut it off. This of course meant I nicked the threads of the wall faucet, which means now I need a new one, which means a new box, which means cutting into the wall, which means additional mud work, texture, and painting. All said and done It ended up being 3 days of my time as my contractor was out of town and it’s a 45-minute drive to this property. The lesson here is to be detail oriented in each of the steps and to spend once at the right time rather than more times forcing you to repeat many steps and costs.
