Random Tuesday

[susandennis]

I really need to take down the curtains in this bedroom and iron them and put them back up.  They are a set of sheers over a set of plain, white bedsheets. The last time I washed them, I got lazy and figured they'd hang the wrinkles out eventually.  Not happening.  But... I do have a little hand steamer... hmmmm

They are closet curtains instead of closet doors.  No one sees them really except me but they bug me!

So that's on the list today.  My handy(wo)man who agreed to replace the bathroom and kitchen faucets has kind of fallen off the radar and I'm pretty disappointed.  I sent her a note last week asking her to put them on the schedule.  I didn't hear anything so I sent her another note and got one back saying she was behind in her calendaring and would let me know that night.  That was Friday.  This is Tuesday and no word.  I just sent one more note.  If she does not make the appointment this time, I'll either find someone else or send the faucets back (I got them on Amazon).

I have a swim class at noon.

And that's all on the slate right now... but it's early.

My hubby is quite the handyman but working his long hours is not conducive to him actually DOING any of the many honey-do items i have on my long list. Handy men (and women) in my area are weird and seem to have the lurgy or some other disease when it comes to actually showing up for work. They seem to come for the estimate portion of the program but the actual work...not so much.

I hired a dude to fix all the drywall issues we had (some previous poor workmanship had left divets and ugly spots on quite a few of the walls) and he breeze through here pointing out how easy and quick it would be and would only charge me $100. We set the date for the following Saturday (because we were home) and he never showed nor returned any of my 5 million calls/messages. Frustrating.

I'm still looking for someone to do all the little jobs who will actually show up.

I love my current handyman. Luke and I were looking at the last project he did for us. He also painted my rooms when I bought it.
