To make you feel better I would like to tell you about the time we had our house on the market trying to sell it and I walked into the back yard to see (and smell) actual turds and toilet paper bubbling up out of my garden. Yes, we had bust a sewer pipe. <br />Also, I must hear the whole story about the floor dude pooping his pants. I admit I looked for it in your past posts and couldn't find it. Sounds like a good one.<br />Thinking of you and sending you a virtual mojito...Betty Crafterhttp://www.bettycrafter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673220276948215440.post-1792639230151698122012-06-18T13:09:27.210-05:002012-06-18T13:09:27.210-05:00Oh NO.

I'm so sorry to hear about your floors! It's so frustrating when tiny things like that become MAJOR issues. I'm also sorry to hear about your hooligan floor layers and hope that they're nicer (or can keep their BM's to their golddang selves while on a paid job, oh my GOD) if and when you choose to let them back into your house. There has to be some way better karma coming your way soon! Hang in there!

In 2005, we had those three hurricanes in a row, and the wind did nothing to us -- it was the rain.<br /><br />Now, I lie awake at night whenever it rains wondering if the sunroom is flooding, if we have a roof leak, or if it is penetrating the walls.<br /><br />Whenever the tub drains slow, I get nervous.<br /><br />I feel your pain. I dislike contractors in the house, or anywhere on property. I stare at the guy that sprays the yard through the blinds, but won't answer the door because I just feel that he will try to sell me something additional.<br /><br />Hope it works out and you all get some peace and quiet so you all can enjoy the rest of the summer.JohnnyBerrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673220276948215440.post-3009692001482797422012-06-14T15:55:15.885-05:002012-06-14T15:55:15.885-05:00So sorry to hear about your problems!

I had a similar magnitude issue some years ago. Mold, everywhere. It's the things you can't hear or see that just wallop you. We had drying machines going 24/7 for something like 6 weeks. (Right at the same time my then 2nd-graders teachers went on a month-long strike. Oh, such good times!) All I can offer is what someone told me when my life went ass-end up: You don't have to figure out everything that needs doing to fix it. Just figure out the one next right thing you need to do. One thing at a time. Will be thinking of you.Rita@thissortaoldlifehttp://www.thissortaoldlife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673220276948215440.post-90395824833094323692012-06-14T14:25:27.798-05:002012-06-14T14:25:27.798-05:00What a disaster!
