My Kingdom for a Decent Plumber!
So we had a plumber over yesterday.
Long story short one of the kids almost got really hurt because he didn’t follow the installation directions…for a SINK.
Yeah.
The identical sink my husband installed in the front bathroom is way more secure and put together correctly.
How sad is that when you’re DIY husband can do that much better than a (very expensive) professional.
I’m getting sick of being dicked around by plumbers. It seems that no matter who we call, or what it’s for, that there is always something. The one we called before this plumbing company replaced a corroded pipe, but didn’t measure correctly and the pipe sticks out from the wall. Not a big deal unless you have a pedestal sink – like we do. We called him and he told us to go to Home Depot and buy a part that will COVER the mistake. Funnier yet, I don’t think there’s a piece big enough to actually do that. Not that I’ve been able to find, anyway.
We’re giving both plumbers one more chance to remedy the mistakes they have made. If they don’t? Watch me break out my two awesome weapons: The ability to tell a true story in an engaging way and SEO. This better get fixed is all I’m sayin’.
And I have a cold. Seriously, I think the seven plagues have decided to visit my house. It’s just one sickness after another. But this one seems way more short lived than the last one…thank goodness!
In happy news, the baby is great, the girls are fantastic, Randy is doing good (except for plumber stress) and I’m in a great mood for having a cold. I bought some photo paper and printed my first photos. I’m going to be sending them out to my mom and a couple of Randy’s aunts that sent us “wooHOO you had a new baby!” cards. I’ll be adding in a picture of the girls so everyone gets updated pictures of everyone. It was nice not to have to go to Walgreens or Target to get the photos.
Now I have to get with the program and use the Photoshop to crop them better. Right now they’re very what you see is what you get. Kind of like I was using a film camera.
I’m trying not to be a total complainer, but I’m so freaking sick of being sick. I was well one day this week before getting sick all over again. I need to get some better vitamins or something.
