Fence Posts

We had an estimate done for fencing back on 9/10. I called them back 9/11 to go ahead. Their estimate said it would be installed within 2 weeks. That would have been yesterday. Last week the utilities were marked, so I thought they would be calling shortly after that to schedule the post digging. I called them Tuesday; they called back Wednesday saying they could come Thursday between 1 and 2. I have been working so much overtime that being short hours was not an issue, it was being away from work when I am still behind. So I asked them to call when they were 20 min out so I didn't have to take off more than I had to. I arrived at home and they were already marking for the poles. There were a few adjustments in the original measurements that had to be made because of tree roots. I went back in the house with Polly and then Jon got home around 4:30. I asked if they were still here, he said no. They never said they were leaving. We looked out at the poles-5 were not cemented and they forgot to put 2 in because we are not connecting to the neighbors fence. So I called and of course they have to give me a call back. Since we were supposed to be home for the post digging part I asked if we would have to be home again when they finish because I really don't want to take off of work again. We'll see what happens. Until the actual fence goes up we now have to watch Polly when she goes out so she does not dig in the holes that are not cemented or wrap herself around the poles and pull them out of alignment.



Edit by Jon: The 2 post have been installed and the 5 have now been cemented in. Fabric will probably be installed on Monday.
