Ok,
I can't help but feel "painting envy" when I go over to Alex's Blog and see that the guy painting her living room is almost done and by the end of the weekend, Alex will have put back together her room for the grand reveal.
So jealous.....
It's been over a week(9 days to be exact)since the local handyman franchisee came over to our house to take photos and take down all the information on all the projects we want/need doing over here at Chez Sluggy.
A week and not a peep outta these guys on an estimate of what it will cost us.
We ended up with 7 separate "projects" that need doing here, when the handyman was finished writing them all up.
1. Repair/patch ceilings/wallboard/doorway edges in assorted rooms.
2. Paint entire downstairs and upstairs hallway.
3. Finish crown molding in living/dining rooms.
4. Fix and rehang hall closet bi-fold door.
5. Rip up carpet and install bamboo flooring in living/dining rooms.
6. Replace trim around garage door and replace decorative shutters on 3 windows on front of house.
7. Clean and paint(or replace with metal/vinyl) decorative attic vent on front of house.
Do you think I scared him away?
I do.
Maybe I should have eased into this by only letting them know about 2 or 3 projects.
And then when those were completed we could contract with them to do the others.
Yah, maybe I should have done that.
But I didn't.....because I have NO PATIENCE dang it!!
I want this stuff done and I want it done, like yesterday.
It's been so long since I've had an actual living room that looks and is used like a living room.
I just can't help myself.
So I sit here trying to not glance furtively at the telephone and by using my mind control abilities WILL IT TO RING!
Grrrr......AAArgh......sigh loudly......*drop head on desk and whimper softly*.......
And someone please if you see my Hubs in real life, remind him that I am waiting for him to take the pile of broken electronically crap out of the center of the living room and drop it off at Best Buy NOW.
Doing it yesterday would be even better.
Do you believe me now when I said I am no patience?!
I swear, if I could lift that TV it would be sitting out on the curb as of 2 months ago.
So tired of it.
So what do you think?.......did I scare him off?
