Repositioning

I had the concrete stainer cancel our Monday appointment due to a forgotten walk through on a completed project. He promised to call, and hasn't. The hardwood restoration person was also supposed to be by for a Monday morning bid, but she also had to cancel due to an ER emergency. She rescheduled for today, and didn't show up and also didn't call.  I texted her and also left a voice mail around 10:30 am,and she promptly texted back at 3:30 that she "has a lot going on". Normally, I would have written the company off, but I rescheduled another bid to take place on Wednesday. I guess the economy is really good since I can't get any contractors out to the house for a bid...

I do have a rather solid hardwood flooring person coming out Tuesday to put in his bid. He comes highly recommended. The List has a few items knocked off of it, but it has been mostly repositioning items for this weekends work. It looks like it will be mostly inside painting, with maybe a few outside jobs before the heat and humidity kicks it into high gear.

 The List:


  • Spray 10% bleach solution on roof moss to kill it. (1st of 3 applications)
  • Clean the gutters, check the nails, and flush spouts.
  • Clean the flower beds ( 2 of 3 cleaned)

  1. We have the same problem down here. People say they'll come out to do a job, then never show and never call. We're waiting on someone right now.
    Take care. I guess everything happens when it's supposed to. Have a blessed weekend!
