The Plumber Is Not So Dreamy After All

You may have been wondering where all the progress on the house went. Well, we have been wondering the same thing. Since the plumber was here (a week ago Sunday), there has been exactly zero progress on the house. Zip. Zero. Nada. The weather was beautiful, the ground was dry, the construction workers were...elsewhere. We heard a lot of excuses and promises and sob stories, but bottom line = the week was lost. This week has been different, thank goodness! Lots of trucks and construction workers and Progress. The power company connected us yesterday, after a few well-placed phone calls from Mike. Hooray! The contractor showed up today with his guys, and was "surprised" that the plumber had decided not to show up last week. He says the plumber will really, really, "really" be out tomorrow to give us running water, really. I'll believe it when I turn on the water and something happens. You ever notice that when "mis-communication" happens, it's always the other guy's fault? Sigh. I AM moving back in this weekend, water or no water -- I miss my house!
