Well, they arrived a little after 9:00, worked until around 11:30, then the one who is the installer said that he and his helper were going to take an early lunch and haul off all the flooring material they had pulled up (my entrway is down to the sub-flooring now) and pick up the wood and would be back shortly.  Then he called about an hr. later and said when he got to the Carpet Exchange close to us to pick it up, they had never ordered it sent to that location and he had to go all the way over to the other side of Denver and pick it up.  Now they has been gone 3 hrs. and no sign of them yet.  I hate it because they put some type of substance down and turned on a huge fan to help dry it, but he left the front door standing open to aid in the process and I feel uncomfortable with my house standing wide open and the fan is so noisy that I couldn&#39;t hear if someone actually came into the house, so here I sit with my eyes on the front door.  Since it is almost 3:00 at this point, I doubt if they are going to do much too much work when they do get back.  Gee, I am only on day 1 - I will be a basket case before this remodel is over.  Guess you are wondering what the deal with the front door is when I am having a kitchen remodel....we are also getting hardwood put in foyer and new carpeting in the house.  I thought he would do the kitchen first, but he started in the entryway.  I thought he might at least get the wood laid in there before they knock off for the day but doubt that will happen.  You may see me go a little crazy in the next few months.   He said he needed a week to remove the old flooring, do the prep and lay the new, so the carpeting guys are coming next week.  Okay, I have vented enough...
