Juanita.... With the aggravation I've had from the assorted contractors, handy men, tile guys, and plumbers, I think I'm gonna change my middle name to "aggravated!" You have my sympathy AND empathy if you're experiencing anywhere NEAR the frustration and aggravation which I've had in getting the remodeling done on my new home. At least I really like the complex, my neighbors, my home, and the neighborhood had proved to be a very pleasant surprise.

(LONG Reply)and longer Barb M. Sounds as though your past weeks? have been as insane as mine. We started a vinyl flooring installation in our kitchen and bath on the 21st of June. The installers completed the job on the 4thof July (thats right) then came the installation ofthe new vanity, basin and faucets.Fri(July 14th) the doors and drawers were finally installed in the new vanity. The job that was supposed to disrupte the house for a couple of days and cost xxx dollars, became almost 3wks of dissaray and a third again the original estimate. First a leak was discovered meaning a plumber. We live in a very small town where contractors are not readily available. Of course a plumber is not cheap. The slow leak had caused a multitude of problems that had to be remedied before the vinyl could be installed. Of course the slow leak had rotted the bottom of the old vanity. So what the HEH! Gotta replace the vanity why not just replace the basin and faucets? On and on and on it went. Remember! Here we sit, 2 old farts, that are no longer able to do the grunt work, the labor repairs, etc.Stove in the living room, also the fridge.No sink in the bathroom(only one we have) Fortunately other than the wear on frayed nerves and spending more money than expected things really are not to bad. George's attitude is"it could have been much worse". We now have wonderful new floors and the bathroom looks like it is all new. Through all of this we still maintained our sense of humor. Like it's obvious you did to Barb M. I'm still having a little ice cream occaisionally. Just not as often as I'd like. Just had to get in the food SHOT! Hugs Juanita CG for George74/71/64
