Now What??

Just when I thought I was seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, I get this email from my mom:


**Notification Alert: **

Due to recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity, gas and oil, as well as current market conditions -The Light at the End of the Tunnel has been turned off.

**We apologize for the inconvenience**


Well, I must have been seeing something else, because with this email came the news that the renovations will NOT be done this week (as was previously anticipated). We have been without a kitchen, laundry room, and downstairs bathroom for a MONTH! About 2 weeks ago the sink and tile for the back splash came in and we were just waiting on the counter tops. Well the counter tops were delivered a week ago, but when we picked up the sink we found out it was the wrong one! They gave us an 8" deep single basin instead of a 10" deep double basin...big difference! And being custom ordered from Chicago, it was not just a quick swap. So anyway, the correct sink is now in and everything is ready, except the contractor. Go figure! I just want my house back to normal, the dining room is spilling over with everything from the laundry room/pantry and the entryway and living room are piled high with everything from the kitchen cabinets and counters. On the bright side (as my mom pointed out) at least we don't have kids to be dealing with during this mess. We did pick out the new kitchen floor over the weekend and we were told it will take 1 week to arrive, so maybe if one thing decides to go right on schedule then the floor will arrive just as the kitchen is done. Also in our favor, the flooring people have done a lot of work for us in the past and they are super quick about coming out for the install.

So, if anyone can maybe get that light working again soon (or at least get the contractor back to my house) I promise a dinner from new kitchen is headed your way!
