So here we are. It’s Friday. Life has been busy, somewhat stressful, but we keep going on and somehow Hubby and I manage to smile at each other, at the beginning and the end of the day. Here are the five things going on that have gotten most of my attention this week.
- The roof! Oh I thought this would be easy. I liked the contractor, but last week when we had the driving rain storm, the roofer had not covered his work area well enough, and at 2:30 in the morning, I had Niagara Falls in the master bath! Talk about scary and horrifying all at the same time.
- We had the roofer crawl up into one of the crawl spaces and pull the batten insulation, so we can dry it completely. We also mopped the ceilings and set a dehumidifier up. Yeah, stress, with all capitol letters!
- The “new skylight” is not the correct one. Once you put the screen in there is no way to adjust the shade! It will need a retro-fit repair.
- My vanity in the master bath had a back splash. I say “had” because it is damaged, beyond repair! I am heart sick!
- And so far the other work we contracted to get done, has not been finished. No, we have not made the final payment, and we will not until all the issues that were caused by the roofer are resolved.
So yeah, a tad stressful. But, here is the good news, My grandchildren are coming on Saturday and I have all sorts of things planned. Including swimming and playing in Oma’s Lake!
I feel bad, but glad you have not made final payment. So sorry about this mess. Love YOU, Mel
Oh, I feel your pain. From major renovations and an addition to huge ice dam leaks, we’ve been through it. Have a wonderful contractor but once one thing goes wrong, there is always a domino effect.
Stay brave!
So sorry to hear about all of the grief you’re having with the repairs.
You’ll get through it!
