Weekend Wrap-up

Can you guess what we did this weekend?!

The in-laws getting ready for their second day of painting.  So thankful for them!

My in-laws came out on Friday and painted with Kevin. My mom came up on Saturday to help and the in-laws stayed all weekend and painted.  We are so lucky to have amazing, helpful parents.

We are having the worst luck with contractors.  Last week we had our first appointment with a flooring guy and he informed us that we had something called 9 inch tile under the current flooring which may or may not have asbestos and he wouldn't do anything until he talked to his company and they would call us the next day.  Why our inspector did not catch or mention this we are still trying to figure out.

The same day as the flooring, PG&E was supposed to come over to turn our gas back on after the tenting.  They were supposed to call before they came but when they hadn't yet called 4 hours into their 5 hour appointment window my husband went to the house to find a note on the door saying they had missed us and would need us to reschedule.  No phone call.  I then called them to find out what happened and was told they cannot guarantee that the guy coming out to do the gas would call even though they put it in the notes.  Why would you not tell me that when you said you were putting the phone call in the notes and said the guy would call?

The flooring company was supposed to call us the next day, on Friday, to let us know how to move forward.  No call on Friday.  On Saturday we were supposed to get a window estimate from the same company as the flooring place.  I called 40 min after their scheduled time but no show to find out they had canceled our appointment because they had our wrong phone number.  So then I asked about the no call-back on the flooring (which they have the correct phone number for) to find out they have no idea what is going on but will get back to us.  They finally did to say we had to get the 9 inch tile tested.  We'll get those results tomorrow.  Crossing our fingers! The flooring will take about 2 weeks just to get in so we are really cutting it close as we have to be out of our rental by the end of the month.

After

The husband is at the house now for another company's window appointment and they were 40 min late! Is this normal? Or are we having really bad luck?!

My doc doesn't want me around paint fumes so this was my workspace.

I'm letting the hubby do all the stressing since it's not good for me and the baby but boy is it hard to keep my cool.

We're painting everything white except for our's and Lucas's rooms until I can make a final decision on a color if that is what we decide but wow what a fresh coat of paint can do! I can only imagine what a difference new flooring would make.  And for now it is just my imagination:(

Wish us luck!
