We are starting Week #5 of the bathroom remodeling process. It should have only been a 2 week project, but things aren’t always what they seem. Coordinating efforts between the trades was a nightmare, even though it was all planned out and timelined. It should have worked out… in a perfect world. The painter was sick and that held up the electrician and plumber for a week, and he’s still not done yet. The master bath is still missing the toilet, sink and shower hardware and doors. The lighting is not installed, but should be tomorrow (hopefully), so the room is still not usable and to be honest, I’m rather pissed. That proverbial last straw happened last week when we discovered that the water main to the house was cracked and water was leaking.. fortunately it wasn’t leaking IN the house, but outside at the sidewalk. In any case, the front yard needed to be dug up and trees, bushes and plants removed so they could replace the pipes. In addition to a huge plumbing bill, now we’re looking at a major landscaping bill come spring. I’m depressed over the chaos that reigns in this house. I just want everything back in working order. I just want to be able to wake at a normal hour to wait for tradesmen to come in…. and for them to actually show up. I want my bathroom back. This certainly makes me think long and hard about renovating the kitchen. However the thought of eating out every day is enticing.
