Well, ETSA came and removed the power line as they said they would on Thursday but there has been no action by Magill Demoliti0n all week The demo mob said they could start taking the house down during the week even with power line connected but that never happened. They had told us the demo would happen today but there’s no action at our block. Two streets away I can see that the demo mob are still working on some retirement homes which they've been demolishing for a couple of weeks now. It looks like they’re almost done and should finish today sometime. I wonder if this is what the holdup is. We’ve tried to contact the demo guy but he hasn’t been returning our calls since Wednesday. I hate the lack of communication and not knowing when they plan to start. Whenever we speak to the receptionist, she just says it’s fine, they can do it in a day. I’m thinking surely it takes longer than that???
Normally, I wouldn’t be so stressed about them running a few days late but the fixed price contract with Fairmont runs out on Monday. We had made the demo mob aware of this. The fixed price contract has already been extended once and the builder thankfully didn’t charge us for that. I just hope we don’t get charged anything extra. It’s out of our control now.
I think it was a mistake for us to book in with this demo company. They seem way too busy. We had to book it in for a date later than we'd wanted as they couldn't fit us in any earlier. We should've stopped right there and found someone else. We've been really counting on them to stay on schedule.

Sorry to hear about your demo issues. All sounds very familiar. We went with another company and they were the same - we're coming today, no we're not, machine broke down, too hot...blah blah blah. In reality they overbook and get there in their own sweet time because they know you won't be able to get another demo company because they're all the same. We just contacted our builder and told them what was going on, they were very understanding because they know what its like and have seen it all before.
