When I moved to this house 9 years ago one of the first things was to redo the bathroom. It was pretty bad, after 50 years. There are not a whole lot of options in a small town for good, quality handymen/women. And having a tiny budget didn't help. So now, I am paying for that.
Did I mention last week was the air conditioning unit replacement???
Sitting here waiting for yet another handyman to redo the tub surround. The first guy had his head up his ass when he installed it. And yes, I know that is mean. But the first guy deserves it. Of course, AFTER the remodel, everyone was very forthcoming with their opinion of head up his ass guy. And none of it was good. ACK! Why do your friends do that? Or wait, maybe "friends" isn't the right word anymore.
There was no way to get a new tub/surround all in one unit in the tiny 1964 only bathroom in the house room. So we had to go with separates. And 9 years after the fact, it became chrystal, moldy clear that head up his ass guy reallllly screwed up. The list of everything that was wrong is boring and complicated. Suffice it to say that head up his ass man lived up to his reputation.
Handyman #2 is a nice guy that does work for the school. He'll have to come back tomorrow to finish the trim. You know, you can't get anything you need in a small town with 2 hardware stores. So he will take the 60 mile round trip to the big city of Cape Girardeau, MO which actually has a Lowes and a Menards to get that trim.
I am off to clean up a ginormous mess that includes having to rip down the drywall.
Thanks head up your ass guy. Your reputation will follow you from here on because I will not hesitate to share our experience together BEFORE your next job.
