It is what it is!

The painters came today and did a lot of detail work, but still have to come back because we had a 5 ft seam crack vertically in our great room and it still looks like crap. There are still a few areas that need attention as well, like our island that won't be finished until our new counter is installed. 

The trim guy didn't show up for the bazillionth time. I don't have anything nice to say. 

The excavators didn't show up today either to take care of the basement issue. They said they will be here tomorrow even if it snows. This seems absolutely stupid and dangerous, which is why it should have been done a long time ago. In the mean time, we are cleaning this mess for the fourth time: 

Water and mud drying from this weekend. 

Water and mud. It is drying up. 

The brown stuff is mud and this is a lot better than it was this weekend. 

Word to the wise: DO NOT TAKE THE SERVEPRO CREDIT if this happens to you. We were given $275 to clean the basement the first time and $0 to clean it the second, third, and fourth. I can't tell you how many bad words were exchanged during these cleanings. 

Fill in the blanks.

As of this afternoon, our FM said the cleaning lady (who was supposed to be here Saturday, then Monday, then Tuesday) was going to be here tonight. 

Didn't happen. 

Our fm told us that they didn't want to install the new transom over the bath until it warms up since it was broken badly. Also.. Should have been done a long time ago. 

My husband is so angry he won't even go out to the house until we are closer to having this over. 

In better news, our couch and loveseat got delivered.
