The heat is on in that unit now, the plumbing survived last night, the drywall, and insulation went in today, part of the drywall joints are "mudded", and some time next week I can think about moving all the "garage stuff", out of my living room, and back into the garage. The biggest cleanup headache, is going to be all the "drywall residue" on my garage floor, and all of it that has been already tracked into the house.
The "residents" requested the shut off of the gas, and power, so they wouldn't have to pay for it! I want photographs, and an address!
Even in this, there is an "up" side, I found some things out in the garage that I thought I had parted with a long time ago, and I now have a use for them! :mrgreen:
I would file a complaint with the owner of the building or whoever is responsible to c hire the contractor. Out here a contractor is expected to clean up the mess before they leave the premises. They may not be able to get things back to pristine condition, but they should clean up enough that you aren't tracking drywall dust from the garage to the house unless you are walking through the area while they are working.
