Our paving project is delayed again

Good Morning.

Our project is delayed again.

These are messages I got at 6-45am this morning from Joseph Fornaro, the owner of the Norfolk Paving and Excavation company from Canton:

"Hi Alex , I just went to our pipe supplier for the materials for your drain, usually he has plenty of the supplies we need but with everything going on with supply chain he does not and will not have materials till after the 18 th of July. I locked in the order so we are sure to get the materials when they come in, so we have to put your job off till the end of July.
Sorry for the delay.
I can’t get common supplies, I got to send my crew home for the day, they are losing a days pay, plus my equipment was on the road headed to you, I called 3 of my suppliers, none of them have materials, it’s out of my hands
."

I am very disappointed and I am sure you are too. I do not know what else to say.
I am sorry.
 
Thank you
Alex

Driveway Paving This Week

Our paving contractor will be here on Thursday at 7-30am to remove the existing driveway, install a drain and compact new gravel. Next day, on Friday, they will be installing new asphalt.
We should expect that there will be no access to our driveway from Thursday to Monday or Tuesday next week (it will depend on how hot it is going to be).

If you need to take your car, please do this before 7am Thursday.

Thank you

Driveway paving project is moving to the mid of June

The company we picked for the repaving of our driveway is running behind and they told me that we should expect the project to take place in the mid of June and that they will be in touch with me when we get close to the date.

I do not know what is wrong with these asphalt companies and why they cannot keep their schedules and communications with their clients straight.
Last week I called Norfolk Paving eight times, left 3 voice messages and nobody got back to me. Similar happened with the company we planned to use last year. Back then they simply stopped responding to us after getting our prepayment. They failed with the schedule and in the end it took me 3 month of weekly calls to get our money back.

I apologize for this the inconvenience this whole situation can cause you. I have a few ideas on how to straighten things out and am working work in it.
Please stay tuned for more updates.

Thank you, Alex
