For FIVE DAYS now, my arena construction's been reading "ready in 2 days".
Undertook construction on April 11th (Japan time) - and told it'd be ready in 7 days. It's now April 20th, and we still have (for the fifth consecutive day!) "The expansion will be complete in approximately 2 days."

Beginning of the week, I was just hopeful it would be ready by game 1 of the new season... hell, I was pretty sure it would be.
Now? With less than THREE days to go, I am dead scared it won't be.

Let me just say, THESE PRETZELS ARE MAKING ME THIRSTY!!!

Sounds like you guys both hired terrible construction crews.

You are used to Japanese efficiency. If something will be ready in two days it will be ready in two days. Instead you have hired a Southern European work crew who have taken a few days off for a festival, had some safety concerns so closed the site down for days, were in a dispute about overtime payments and so were on a go slow and are now demanding a "bonus" if they actually make the next two more days deadline.

Yes indeed, it appears you're correct. Construction was with a Japanese firm, who after over-extending themselves sub-contracted to a S.E.-based company. We've had more than a few issues, but post a meeting where completely outrageous demands were... well... met, hopefully construction will be finished by tomorrow, in time for the season's home opener on Saturday.
I wait with bated breath...

Seems to me that BB has an exclusive contract with South European firms. Construction is never finished on time, never... at least it never happened to me. Oh well, it's not such a big deal after all.

This is a help forum and your discussion isn't really helping anyone.

I want what all men want...I just want it more.
