From the Home Front
Apr. 10th, 2006 05:45 amIt was supposed to be just some new flooring in the kitchen and painted cabinets upstairs. And a plumber to fix the line to the sewer.
It's been four days -- and counting -- and they still do not have a toilet connected upstairs. I'm going to be getting a new ceiling in my bathroom because of the mold problems, and I bought a new vent fan for them to install. This one is going to be attached so that it vents to a duct that leads outside, not the space between my ceiling and their floor!
The plumber did not show up last Thursday, as originally planned. She showed up Sunday, and she's supposedly coming back today. Because of the amount of work being done, they probably won't have a toilet upstairs until Wednesday.
On the good side, they are getting the new tile down in the kitchen, and it's looking nice. The Ex's brother-in-law seems to be doing good work. When all this dies down, I may talk to him about doing my own floors.
The child starts gymnastics day camp today for summer camp. She will go every afternoon. Because of the work being done and the fact that the Ex's SO will have three other little girls with her who are not going to camp, my parents are going to drive over to take her, and I will pick up her up after work.
I'm going to ask to take Thursday and Friday off, so I can take her in the morning, and have some downtime. I thought I got a reasonably good rest this weekend, but evidently not. I'm very tired this morning.
