Hi again!
No updates as of yet. The company seems very pushy to get everything settled, but after speaking with my Husband, he doesn't want them coming back until he's home (middle/end of May), and also wants our contractor to be here (the one who did the rest of our renovations - but not anything with hardwood.) I am looking into getting an official hardwood inspection. All the people I've spoken to briefly wanted to make sure they didn't know or have any contacts with the company where we had the issue. That felt nice - especially after the hardwood company said they know some people who can give us an inspection. I don't think the inspector should be working for the company who is trying to say they're not at fault.
One guy I am speaking to is letting me send pictures and do some things upfront - before shelling out money for an official inspection. I really appreciate that. Has anyone on here had an official hardwood inspection? Or maybe certified as an inspector?
The inspector asked me to measure the boards. I'm not sure if any of you could help me out with this -- but if I measure a board that has gaps on both sides, and one without - should they be the same? They are... as much as I can tell?... If the hardwood is "shrinking" due to humidity -- wouldn't the boards be different widths? I assume this, but I could be wrong as well which is why I am back here again.
Thanks again for all of your help. I just wish we could get this dealt with and be able to enjoy our home again!
