So, the company who is painting our house (get it, “brush”) was the company that painted one of the Extreme Home Makeover houses in our area awhile back. I’m so mad I can’t even link to EHM. The whole home-makover thing - love it. Love. It. Best idea. Best. Idea. I fully support it, but read on….
wwhhEll… (read as a moan of dissatisfaction not a gleam of impression), apparently the painter got a “last minute” call to work on the opening season show in Alaska last week. They gave him a hefty chunck-o-change to turn tail and forsake all his other obligations - like my house. Mi. Casa. “Never fear Jenny” - is what I hear from our project manager guy - “the ever-impressive painter-man has his top 2 guys on your project.” Why do I ever believe anyone? Can someone please send me a kindergarten teacher from 1952 to walk next to me with a pointer stick so she can strike my knuckles each half hour for buying that line of nonsense…
At one point we were told it would take 10 days to finish painting. The job needed to be completed by this coming Monday (the 17th) so things like the following could be completed: the fireplace, the rest of the lights, 2 more coats on the wood floor, carpeting, clean-up, and who knows what else!
As of today - those 2 “top men” must be dead. No one’s seen ‘em, at least not at my house…
