Orders - drawings - surprises

The worst nightmare of the project is getting the drawings in order and being able to make the orders.
We are redoing our windows on a daily basis due to errors in the drawings.
Too sad...
To make things even more complicated, it turned out that our trellis support falls into our pool. Huhh.. Now that's gonna be a great support :D. Well, it is not so funny after all.

I feel like we will never eventually put a dot and be able to leave our orders. The only good part of the whole series of failures is that the architect is at the scene and able to fix/notice the issues asap.
We have five major parts for which we need very precise material lists and some of them have a long delivery time. Next one by one each..

The first huge learning of this project is that if you start to build a house learn to read architectural and structural drawings first. You can't just trust blindly that people will do their job and things will work out.
You need to double check everything, draw, and measure, and draw again, and ... Well, try not to go mad in the process :).
