Psychotomy

yesterday was the first day of the contractors working on the floors & bathrooms.  i spent sunday night moving stuff and making sure all the bathrooms were cleared out (i also did some drywall patching, since i figured i might as well hit that step BEFORE they put in fancy brand new floors ;)

so yesterday morning (10:30) they arrive, and tell me they want to start on the hardwood floor for hte living room.  uh.  crap, i didn’t finish clearing that out yet!  ok ok , they need to go get the wood anyway, so i’ll have it cleared when you get back 30-60 minutes.  sure, not a problem, sorry i thought you were starting with the tiling (since as i understand it, it takes a minimum of two days for a bathroom due to having to let things set overnight an’ stuff)

work hard, running up and down the stairs with computers, boxes, the new tv, etc (god my legs hurt!!!) and i’m 90% done when the phone rings.  OK, he’s calling to see if it’s clear so they can start when they get here with the wood, fine, no problem.  it is mostly.  but NO!  it’s the contractors office calling to tell me htat, since it wasn’t cleared yet, they’ll be back the next day so I have time to clear it … but, it’s already done, are they not coming back ?  no?  *sigh*

so yesterday was a complete wash :o  but i got a lot of exercise, and the living room did get cleared, at least, even if i moved the tv back down then back up in the evening ;)

what I don’t get?  why didn’t they just start with the effing bathroom yesterday, since the living room wasn’t clear?
