And the mess goes on and on...



So we are a week away from our 20th anniversary trip to Mexico and the work is still going on in our house. Contractors around here just don't want to work everyday. If they'd work everyday they'd be done! ARGH!

Here's what it looks like now. (Yes. That black cement is my floor for now.)

The first picture is the hallway to my laundry room. There's a bathroom in this hall too without a floor now.

The second picture is the kitchen. As you can see the lovely island with granite counter top is gone. All my counter tops are gone. Appliances gone. Three hungry kids home for the summer all day and no pantry!

The last picture is the hallway leading to the study. The wood floor survived in the middle, but not after. The carpet in the study and the our bedroom was also ruined. And the mess goes on and on.

I wish they were finished. When I leave to go somewhere I love to have the house all in order and clean so when I come back I can continue that relaxed feeling for a few more hours. I don't think that's gonna happen.

Hey I'm gonna celebrate 20 years together with my wonderful husband no matter what. So when it gets done, it will be done. Until then I'm dreaming of beautiful beaches and cool drinks.

Oh...my...gosh!!! All because a "professional" didn't do the plumbing job right to begin with? This is insane. God bless you. I'm still pushing for you to go live at a spa while this is done, but Cabo will do. ;-)

I know...right! The outside is tore up as well. He messed up my sprinkler system too. Too my irrigation system guy 4 days to fix it. He had to tear up part of my deck in the back to get to it. This seems to be never ending.
