Psychotomy

tuesday was day 2=1. i had scheduled to go to work tth this week, figuring i wanted to be home monday (when they started; oops), friday (when they finished …. uh) and wednesday (well, actually, i had a dr’s appt, had to be home anyway)

so my mom came in the morning to let them in. since it was the first day, after monday’s fiasco, i was hoping they wouldn’t need much from her, but i kept calling during the day to check in. was shocked when she told me they had the first floor stripepd of carpet and linoleum already!

got home, dad tells me they’ve stripped 3 bathrooms, but notthe upstairs hall (why strip 3 and not all four?) then he told me it was tiled (uh? they FINISHED that fast? christ, why didn’t they do this monday???) then i found the living room hadn’t been touched, and my dad says “oh this one’s tiled too” … uh, no, it’s linoleum/vinyl/whatever. we’re putting in real tile. ceramic. oh!

they stripped the master bath’s floor, and pulled the toilet (it’s sitting in the shower). they stripped the basement bath floor (but the toilet and shower are both “functional”, except i’m not sure i should take a shower with the floor stripped; or if i’d want to walk on the floor then, either). they stripped the hall showertub (it needed retiling, which was where this all started …). they stripped the living room carpet and the kitchen linoleum. and they put in hardwood for most of hte living room, up to the dining room-half of the living room. i was impressed.

I was also without a shower. i went to the gym this morning to take a shower :o
