It is official!!
I am in full blown crisis management:
~the found kitchen sink, the one that came from Scotland ( don't they make sinks locally anymore) is broken!!! As in cracked beyond repair. If we are lucky we may have a sink by the end of Sept. We plan to use a bucket in the meantime:( Fortunately the granite people can still use the broken sink to cut the template so we should still be getting countertops next week!!
~the add a room workers didn't show till 1PM Monday and left Tuesday after 2 hours!! How is one suppose to build a 10' X 44' room in 2 days!!! We do have drywall scheduled for Saturday!! Plus Colin had to redesign their plans as it just did not work or fit the existing house roof line!! We have hired someone extra to help the add a room company get the roof up tomorrow. We may be delayed a week but we are still optimistic.
~had another ER dental appt today, this time it was a chipped tooth. Methinks I have begun to grind my teeth at night.
~my business is just so busy I may have to hire someone to do Colin's business. Yikes!
~still trying to sort out internet, servers and all that mysterious stuff, almost 50 % done.
~can you believe we were both too busy to take any photos the last few days.
~I did go shopping for a long whip but only found screws, elbows for the heat ducts and duct tape and pliers. They were sold out of whips!!!!
~on the bright side the service fellow came for the fridge and it no longer beeps. The entire body was torqued. Way too technical these days.
Plus I already have more on Wednesdays to do list than there are hours in the day.
The wine is helping but not as much as it should be…….pity!!!

Way to stressful for me. We enjoy the simple life. Good luck with the trades!
George…..thanks…..I think I will need all the luck I can get.
Marty…..me too!!
Jannose….for some reason I don;t have these problems in Mexico!
Longdog…..yes that is why we hired them but here in the Okanagan there is a negative work attitude…..the trades think we are lucky if they show up at all and we should be grateful. Anywhere else in Canada they would be fired.
Susie….even the wine isn’t helping :((
If it rains, it pours! Hope your week gets better.
I am getting stressed just reading about your day! Try wearing a mouth guard at night. It really helps if you grind your teeth. Keeps you from needing root canals in the future if you grind your teeth.
Oh, this really does sound very stressful. What excuse are the add-a-room team using for not showing up? Didn’t you hire them instead of the house people so it wouldn’t take as long? I bet the furkids are getting really stressed too. Keep thinking of how nice it will be when it is all done.
Yes tooo stressful, but you have to keep on top of plans and worker,s.. Hopefully it all end sooner then later!!! Cheers!!!
