Keeping My Appointments

It's like bringing an umbrella on a sunny day just to keep it from raining. I feel a little badly keeping my appointment for an estimate to finish tile-setting on Friday if Sim is actually going to finish the job.

At first when I arrived home today I was pissed off to find that the front door key was sitting out in the open on the front porch. The upside of that is.. well, there are two upsides. One: I remembered to put the lockbox with the spare key out there, and Two: it meant they actually showed up to work. So yay for that.

When I came in I noticed that the back door was left unlocked. Then I noticed that there was still a saw out on the back deck. Then I heard something in the basement, and it wasn't Henri. They were still working. All better!

I met Javier and he showed me the work they'd done today in the bathroom. Looks like they've completed the simpler parts of the tub surround, and begun the more interesting parts. They've also replaced the broken tile in the shower floor near the drain. AND they've put in some baseboard, er... base tile, or whatever it's called if it's stone instead of wood.

Holy crap Batman!
After all this, it will be SO great to have the bathroom done! We waited years for ours in mid-stages, and it still brightens every single day of my life.
Go team!

Good news - all fingers crossed. As far as the other contractor - you'll know more as Friday approaches. Don't sweat it.

Yeah, it'll be nice to be done with this stress when it's done.

Fingers crossed. Trying not to sweat it.

Zowie, it's a nice bonus that it looks nice. Time to get Javier's number, maybe. My girls will be psyched to try out that tub. Way to stick with it. B
