A Few Things

 When the second guy was here, he was very insecure. He wanted to close the deal, that's all. I asked him the measurements of the teak bench attached to the wall. He held up his hands, measuring out a an indeterminate length and width. I spoke up and said, "That is not a measurement. How about giving me inches instead of an estimate. That showed me a real lack of professionalism. 

Him suggesting that they put in shower and we hire a handyman to tear out the tile and put in sheetrock annoyed me. Instead of putting in a block to make grab sturdier, he did a wag of his head, demeaning me say that they would attach it to a 2x4 as though I had never heard of a 2x4. The right way is to add something sturdier than one board. 

I talked to a young woman who works for a church, asking if she could find someone I could pay to help me. I did not want her to think I was just looking for free help. She asked what kind of help. Tommy said picking things up! So, maybe I will get help soon.

It is so cold! My blanket comes tomorrow. I wish I could use it instead of washing it first. We will be gone tomorrow, so I will get neighbor to rescue it from the porch. I don't want it stolen. 

Tommy walked past me and I noticed a tag on the bottom of his tshirt, two tags. Now, I have never seen a tag on te bottom of a t-shirt. It is white and V-necked. So, I had him take it off for me to examine. It is a Brooks Brothers t-shirt. I wonder if they still use tags at the bottom of their shirts. Someday, I will investigate this. Have you ever seen a t-shirt with a tag at the bottom? Tommy said the shirt is at least 30 years old.

Time for leg therapy. It really hurts when it is happening. But, it makes my legs feel better and less tight.

December is Upon Us

 The Jello and fruit salad for me is setting up in the refrigerator. There are no more leftovers of any sort. So, finding something to eat is on the agenda. 

We have another bathroom remodeler coming at 5 pm. Hopefully, it is less than $31K. I am still settling a dispute with another company. They won't even meet with us because we cancelled three times as they came to our house and we were not home. No, they never showed up as we waited an hour for a rep to come. So, we cost them money? All lies. There is more to this bizarre tale. 

Sunday night was well below freezing. But, we are very warm as long as I keep a house jacket on and my feet covered with a throw. Tommy has a throw and jacket, too. 

The second bath remodeler just left. Actually, all they do is the tub or shower. It is $13K to take out tub, put in shower. AND, it will be three months before parts arrive. We will be left with a half-done bathroom when they collect the $13K. Argh! We have to hire other people to do the rest. 

We have one more company to talk with. I doubt we will go with them. You would recognize the name. Do you have a company you can recommend? Or, warn us about?

There was nothing on last weeks ads that we wanted. We saved money. 

I think I can sleep all night tonight
