THIS one?

Probably not, but I can certainly think of a few things he could help ME with!

OK - Time to get ready to get ready to head out for the day.

Greetings from my new cubible! There's still a lot of stuff to move, but my phone and computer are all set up and operational.

The tub-resurfacing guy came and went. He said the tub had had a previous repair and he couldn't do a full resurface. He did some sanding and applied a solvent. $100 instead of $300, but it DOESN'T look like new. Glad to save the $200--just hope that the peeling problem doesn't return. (It's an acrylic tub and shower.)

For those DRs who don't know, a cubible is just like a cubicle, except it's built out of books.

I'd copyright that, DR singdaw!

Because you don't want to go through the hell that DRs Laura and Sandra went through?

I've been through plenty of hell on this house already. About twelve years ago a painter started a fire, which damaged one corner of the house, all three floors. It took forever to get it all fixed, largely because of the lack of professionalism and commitment from so many in the building trades. I wish I'd known Marvelous Matt then!

The master bath is on the second floor and was part of an addition put in by the previous owners. The existing tub and shower COULD be torn out, but getting a new unit--or worse, a porcelain tub--up a narrow, twisty staircase wouldn't be easy. And, of course, that would mean lots of patching. I'm trying to FINISH this house! No new projects! That's why it's not an option. Jeanne just couldn't handle it at this point.

I'm heading downstairs now myself. SInce I have company coming to visit later today, I need to mop the kitchen floor now since there won't be opportunity to do so later.

That was what I ran into. Not from the current workers, but from past workmen.

I dreamed last night that I was observing Brain rehearsals.

DR SwaneeRiver~ How were the rehearsals going? Did we have a Fred? How were Boo-Key's new Brooklyn tap shoes doing The Brain Tap?

People often say to me, "Ask <current contractor> if he knows someone." Well, I ask and ask. The guys who I know who are good, such as Matt, usually reply that they don't know anyone. Many of these guys could use a helper, but can't find anyone they're happy with, either. They encounter the same problems that I do. I am soooo glad I found Matt!!

Item is on its way after several tries. My dailup was being a stinker and doing odd things and out of frustration I finally quit and went to bed. I tried again this morning it worked....
