Good morning. 4:24am in east Tennessee. Having my first coffee before toddling off to the shower. Saying NOPE too. Not a snowballs chance in hell of smoking today.

The flooring story continues. It's looking nice but it's still not done. There's part of a hallway, laundry, one bath that has been stripped and one bath and closet to have old floor/carpet removed and new installed.

There's a certain company that is going to get blasted over this flooring fiasco. The review will be public and not pretty...this job cost 10k. Paid in full. It should be completed today but I have to sit for 2 days with zero work being done because they hired a "crew" who doesn't work in Saturdays. Not exactly the commitment they made to me. They also hired these people who live 90 minutes away who book this as "travel time" and show up at 10am (when they arrived yesterday) and called it a day at 4:30. Also took an hour lunch. Hmm I want those work hours!!

Well gonna move on. The daughter came over yesterday and brought Lego sets. Mine is a mini of Paris. Never had Legos as a kid I don't think they even existed. However I am addicted!! Once I finish Paris I will be headed to a store to get another set!

Y'all have a fantastic day. Enjoy whatever you do. As always please be nice be kind today. Show more

Good morning. At least I think it's a good morning. It s 5:37am. I have been up forever. It's going to be a long day today. So saying NOPE now.
The flooring project began yesterday. I have always said " never start a project without a plan". Well yesterday was the day it happened....no plan in place and the project went sideways from the git-go. First they did not show up until about 9:30am. Did not even have a map of the house. No idea of what they were looking at. First of problem hit right...Good morning. At least I think it's a good morning. It s 5:37am. I have been up forever. It's going to be a long day today.

The flooring project began yesterday. I have always said " never start a project without a plan". Well yesterday was the day it happened....no plan in place and the project went sideways from the git-go. First they did not show up until about 9:30am. Did not even have a map of the house. No idea of what they were looking at. First of problem hit right out of the gate. A plumber to remove the toilets. Ummm not my job to arrange. After some back and forth a plumber calls and wants to remove BOTH toilets. Ummm NO! Won that round. We gotta still live here. Second problem was when they decided to take out the flooring that was installed in the hallways. Somebody in all their wisdom decided to glue this flooring. It wasn't coming up to without destroying the slab. Yes they finally got one of those powered machines that more or less resembled a jack hammer with a blade. Currently the living room has new flooring. Dining room, hallways and one bath have concrete slab. Kitchen, den, laundry, one bath still have old vinyl floor, master closet has carpet to be removed. And I have a plumber who will show up.....ummm NO, nothing is ready for reinstall so no you aren't removing anything else.
Then the installers tell me they do not work Saturdays so whatever does not get done will remain so until Monday. I am not a happy camper!! The saga continues.

Well I hope your day is better than mine!
