One step forward and ten backwards

When it comes to plumbers the only constant is problems. Today the sink and shower head were finally installed. The problems are numerous.

The shower head was incorrect and borrowed from the master bath which turned out to be wrong also.

The faucets when tested presented an altogether new problem. One faucet ran great hot water but as you turn on number 2 and 3 the hot water all but disappears and the shower is cold. . Looks like a multitude of problems. Either the electric demand water heater is not working or the manabloc pex system is failing. It looks to me to be a combination of both!. We shall see.


So today in an 8 hour period we undo all the work done in the last 16 months. Not to mention it took the plumbers all day to install 3 shower heads and one sink. A sink that was all but done during the last 8 hour day when they managed to install 1 toilet. (Sink being done means open the crate and attach 3 faucets with washers and nuts. ) The real fun was that they did not have the washers or the nuts to attach the faucets!!! AND When they went to install the other items they did not have any supplies! So 1 toilet in 8 hours!

Am I missing something here?

8 hours to install 1 toilet and put three faucets onto a sink?
8 more hours to hang that sink and attach 3 shower heads?
Oh I forgot they did manage to put a large sink on it's stand but after two visits still could not manage to put the faucets in.

???????????????????????????

At this rate it will be Christmas before we get all the plumbing correctly installed but it still may not be working correctly that is yet another challenge
