Flooring
Posted on July 24, 2007 - Filed Under Housing |
Before leaving for vacation last week, I spent several days playing "phone tag" with the Flooring Guy. When I was little, tag use to be fun. Now that I’m older, wiser, and crankier the games of tag are no longer fun.
He was scheduled to start Monday (yesterday). But there was some damage to the hardwood that needed to be repaired. His decision was to still start the job on Monday but have his guys come last week to repair the floor.
When asked on Tuesday when his guys were going to show up, he said "Today".
Needless to say, I am always confused as to when "Today" actually is. Mikki has spoiled me with her definition of "Today". But with FloorGuy, his definition allowed Life to turn on the spin cycle and put me into this alternate reality where "Today" does not exist.
After three days of "Today" had passed, I stopped getting phone calls. The assumption was they were either fed up with me or were planning on coming "Today".
During the voyage to my humble abode, I decided to stop by the houses. Low and behold, "Today" was actually Monday (yesterday). The floors are being sanded. And the repair work is being done right before the giant sanders do their magic on the floor.
Being color challenged I was not able to pick out an appropriate stain for the floor. He said he would get several samples and I could choose which one. When I asked him for a time, he said "Today". I responded with "Well, call me when you have the samples ready."
A phone call will probably be easier than trying to guess when "Today" is.

Stump Day on January 31st, 2008
In a vain attempt to restore the hot water, we spent last night getting a tree stump out from behind the house.
The Results are In on October 17th, 2006
I finally got word on the open house.
