NEED TO VENT

Exactly a week ago today I walked into the doll room to get something out of the closet and noticed the carpet was wet. It was not only wet, the water was swishing between my toes. So, my first thought was that a pipe burst in the floor or wall, so I call M. He said to call our neighbor and have him turn off the water and he would call a plumber.

He called me back and said that the plumber would be here early the next morning. So, the plumber shows up and said that it is not a pipe in the wall or floor that it is our air conditioner condensation pipe, located on the side of our house. He said that probably the person who mows the yard hit it and broke it and water was being dumped into our wall.

So, then the process begins to call the air conditioning people to fix the pipe and a restoration crew to get the water out of our carpet and out of the walls. We have turned it into our insurance company, because it will probably end up costing close to a thousand dollars before all is said and done.

We also had mold, because this was done on Wednesday before the fourth and I did not did not discover it until the next Tuesday because we were out of town for the fourth.

They had to cut out some of the sheet rock and remove the baseboards. Take up the carpet and dry it and replace some of the padding. In the meantime, we had to stop the showings on the house.

It is now Tuesday and they have not put the room back together and I am suppose to have a showing at five today. They came at nine this morning and replaced the sheet rock and the baseboards and asked me if I had any paint and I said no I didn't know I was suppose to. So, they leave and say they will be back about 12:30 to paint it. They don't get back until 1:30 and they got the wrong color paint. I can hear them talking, I just want to say use it, it is in the closet and it doesn't matter. They are so slow. Have you ever just wanted to go and push people to make them faster.

One guy just went to the bathroom and took the longest crap. He didn't even ask permission. I would have said yes, but I think he should have ask.

It is now after two and another crew has to come and put the room back together and clean the carpet, so I don't think I will be having the showing today, what do you think.

Oh and M called the guy that mows our yard and he came and said that it would have been impossible for his mower to have broken the pipe and he will be back with his mower over the weekend to prove he couldn't have done it. So then who did break it.
