The never ending re-do
Why does it seem that no one seems to want to finish up a project correctly? My tile person did a great job of laying the tile, it is on a 45 degree angle, even, grout nice. However he said he wasn't responsible for laying the baseboard back in the bathroom, or the 1/4 round down that he took up. Now I ask you, don't you think it is reasonable to expect things to be "finished" looking when the job is finished?I called the tile co. that sub-contracted with him and gently asked if they thought someone could come out and finish up. This got their attention, and hopefully the guy will be back tomorrow and actually finish.
I got grout sealer this morning after running errands.
Maybe I'll have the energy this evening to do it.
95% of the dust is now gone, still finding some.
OK, enough of that.
DD and DSIL are still planing to sell their house and go to North Dakota.
For a few days there I thought they were re-thinking the idea. They contacted a real estate agent, he gave them a list of things to fix up--paint closets, fix holes in the walls in garage, paint, CLEAN, etc. This will take a few weeks, so I'm going to spend as much time with the grans as possible.
I think the beach would be a good thing for Sat. evening. There certainly won't be any beach in N.D.
As you can tell by this post, I'm a bit down about their potential move.
It's my opinion that they are going with their new friends in a cult-like situation. No jobs, no place to live, just wanting a change in lifestyle. Well, you can sell your house and change your life style in Fla. as well as anywhere else!
OK, I'll quit venting and go back to cleaning.

Curious about the grout sealer..doesn't that come with the job too? Just wondering...
Sara - Amazing, isn't it?!? Twenty years ago DH had some commercial carpet replaced in his offices where he works. They did the job just fine, but did not replace that vinyl 'baseboard' stuff. When we called the decorator, the answer was, "Oh, you want that put back, too? You didn't say so and it will cost you extra." Sheesh! (!@#$#@!)
Just curious - do you know where in North Dakota they are moving? We lived there for six years -- great people! Cold, long winters - great people. We were in New Rockford.
