My buddy said he is so busy he will not answer the phone or texts, seems like you should at least leave on your phone a message saying that but no one seems to. Not to try and go to far off the rails but I think part of it is NO ONE hardly goes into these fields anymore.

Not sure who this builder is but I know one that has told me they have a years worth of work on the books. I don't condone the no call backs etc but it is crazy how busy everything is. You should try to get a electrician, house painter, re-modeler or any trades place to even call back. I have even had a couple give me quotes, say they were going to start then nothing.

I've tried for the past 18 months to hire a builder to expand a small bedroom and bath into a larger area and zero call backs. So I put that on hold and decided to have a slab patio replaced with pavers, no call backs. Seems everyone wants the big new construction work.

Well , I attempted to take a look at progress today however no one was available to show me my parts. I talked to a person who worked there and he didn’t have knowledge of which was mine. The owner was on the dyno and couldn’t help me out. 4 hour round trip and I wish , in hindsight, I wouldn’t have bothered. I am thinking this thread is gonna get moved over to the beware section soon.
Collect your things and go elsewhere

Rebuild time
I just had an engine done and the shop had to order all the parts they did all the boring and finishing and it took two weeks from start to finish. There is something funny going on with your shop, they overextended their capabilities, or lost employees all big problems for them but that should not turn into your problem! Their lack of total communication would be my biggest worry/problem! Good luck!
