Homeschooling in Illinois

Feb. 12, 2007

Stinky General Contractor

Back in January we hired a guy to do our bathroom.  My hubby was too afraid he would blow up the house or something, and wouldn't touch the bathroom.  The guy told us he would get to work by the end of January, begining of February.  Let me ask you, would you consider it still in that time frame?  Because I don't.  The plumber he usually uses gave him an enourmously large estimate so he decided not to use him and to get a different plumber.  That's all fine and dandy, but, he didn't decide this right away.  He decided last week.  The week, in my mind, that was the last week he should have started the job.  He just called me now telling me everything is "squared away" and now all he has to do is go get the permits tomorrow.  AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!  IS THAT ALL!!!!!!   He tells me that usually the village releases them the same day.  ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?  We have talked to him about how SLOW this town is and he has agreed with us, and now he is going to try and LIE to me?!!  According to him, he should be able to start some time this week, if not, for sure on Monday.  I'm not holding my breath..... Besides, Monday is President's Day.

Well, whatever you do, don't start watching Holmes on Homes. You'll feel even worse. I hope he shows up this week. We tried to hire an electrician when we moved here since none of the rooms were ever wired for overhead lighting (the former owners took cheap to a new level). The guy didn't even show up to give an estimate. I know we are going to have to hire someone to do our floors since we are installing wood but I'm not looking forward to it. *sigh* Sometimes I wish I lived in Toronto, then I'd just call the show and be famous in the process of getting my house fixed up. :-D

About Me

Oh, the crazy things that happen in my house.... I am the wife of M for 8 years now. I am the mother of a 10 yo boy - D, 6 1/2 yo boy - N, 4 yo girl - Princess C, 2 1/2 yo boy -Toddler B, and girl Lil' L born May 18. I've been homeschooling since 2003. I lean towards a Charlotte Mason approach, but more often than not, it's "whatever works".
