Week 10 Blog 2

I know everyone is sick to death of hearing about my house renovation but it has been a complete and total nightmare!!!!!!

We, of course, had to move everything out of our house and cram it all in our garage. We were going to do the living room, bedrooms, and hall one day and then move that all back in and do the dining room and kitchen the next day. Well, let’s just say that it was bad from the get-go. The man that was going to lay the carpet took 3 days to lay it instead of the one day he had originally said. Now, when he told me it was only going to take him one day to lay the carpet I questioned him because I know how big the rooms are. My living room alone is 40’ X 36’ and my bedrooms are all oversized. So, I was right in questioning him. He waited until the very end of the third day to tell me that the flooring that had been ordered (or supposed to have been anyway) was not in yet. I was really proud of myself because I stayed somewhat calm knowing that I could at least get our bedrooms and living room put back together.

Now, when he told me the flooring hadn’t been delivered yet he assured me that it would be there the next day…which would actually be day 5 of this supposed 2 day project……WRONG!!!!! He told me this on a Wednesday and said it would be here Thursday (2 weeks ago) and he would be here to start as soon as it arrived on the truck and would finish up on Friday. WRONG AGAIN!!!!!! It actually didn’t show up in Springfield until the following Monday and then nobody bothered to go pick it up until Tuesday and then he didn’t bother to come and do it until Saturday….We are now in week three of this “two day project” and still aren’t done. He was supposed to finish the floor last Saturday. He said his saw that he was going to use to cut the quarter round broke so he would have to come back Monday and finish. I just simply made the comment that we did have a Lowe’s in town and I was just sure they would have a saw for him to purchase so he could finish up and I could have my house back. Can you believe that s**t head had the nerve to raise his voice and get mad at me?????? I was in total shock and all since of calmness went right out the window. I am just sure things flew out of my mouth that should never come out of anyone’s mouth. Needless to say I kicked him out of my house and refused to pay him a dime until he could come back and  act like a grown man doing business for himself.

Well, today is Thursday and we are approaching week four BUT he did come today and finish up. Lucky for him I was in a better mood.
