- the six month old "replacement" dishwasher broke; after 2 days of phone calls we are getting our refund. i have to call Haier today to hammer out when.
- the bathroom renovation still isn't done. the plumbing supply company, from whom we bought everything associated with the bathroom except the tile and the mirror, screwed up on the vanity/vessel topped sink; the vessel doesn't fit on the sink without serious MacGuyvering. the plumber won't "seat" the toilet till the vanity/sink are installed so we're still without both till that gets cleared up*. meanwhile the magical whirlpool tub has a problem with the control box so the jets don't work and the aforementioned plumbing supply place didn't send a crucial piece of the overflow valve, so we can't use the tub to bathe (the shower works very nicely though).
- our one-and-only laptop broke on saturday which means no schoolwork for stephen (his latest class ends Wednesday and he has several assignments due) and no iTunes or Facebook for vacuous little me.
can anything else go wrong?
*as mentioned in a previous post, our plumber is not a small fella; think of the tallest guy you know and the broadest guy you know, put them together and then double it. that's our plumber. sweet guy, but built like Mr Snuffleupagus. our bathroom is, roughly, the size of a broom closet (5' by 9'?) and Prof. Plumber doesn't want to "seat" the toilet till the vanity/sink are done because he fears breaking tile and unseating the toilet while putting the vanity on. get it?
