Phew, good thing the foundation repair only went $2k over budget, because the plumbing it broke is gonna cost $4k 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
- Foundation got finished early
- But they found missing cross beams so it ended up being 2k more than quoted
- Also a pipe broke so we can't do laundry until that's fixed
- You don't realize how much you love being able to do laundry until you can't
- My job fooled me. It seemed mostly chill at the start, but I've come to realize we're just as understaffed as everywhere else in the world
- Our house looks like this:
- The choir I joined has stopped being any fun at all and is now only a stressful obligation
- But I'm going to feel terrible guilt if/when I quit
- They still haven't posted the work schedule for next week, which is stressful because I had to schedule a plumber not knowing if I'd even be available, and I may have to scramble to cover a shift
- I'm feeling very frayed
- But to show my husband I love him I cleaned two toilets today. It's not much, but he's always so supportive and wonderful, it's one little thing I can do for him
- A customer came into the store yesterday wearing a restaurant uniform, and when he asked how I was doing, it was utterly sincere, and he gets it, he gets what it's like being in customer service, and I love him for it
We are getting our foundation fixed and here's the plan our contractor sent us:
But I noticed a mistake:
That's actually a shower, not a tub! Maybe we can get him to knock off a grand or so for that...
Also, not sure if you noticed, but in that particular bedroom the middle of the floor is 1.5 inches above level, and the floor by the outer wall is .7 inches below level, so...
Yeah, you can probably see why we have to be out of our house for a week while they fix it. Oh, the joys of homeownership...
