Apartment Maintenance

First off I was told to clear the kitchen sink, counter and underneath as I was getting a new sink.  Well I come home - no work done at all - phone message from an annoyed caretaker that I didn't do this and can't get work done if I don't so better do it sooner than later.  HUH?  I called the caretaker back and told her I cleared everything but the microwave - what gives.  She called back and said it's the bathroom sink not the kitchen and they'd be in today - so last night I cleared all that out.  Needless to say my place is a mess more so now!

Well he was in for like 10 minutes and told me he can't fix the problem as the turn off valve is broken and that's a plumber needed for that and who knows when.

Now I've TWO areas to put back together and wait for whenever the shut off valve is replaced then maintenance will return.  So gotta do this twice more but only one area!  LOL!!!

Exhausted - But Finally Home!!!

And after I left Sylvia put up the trims and towel bars after Len cut one to fit the space.  Next is the backsplash, new rug and shower curtain.  Next time I'm there it'll be WOW like!!!!

Gosh it took me 6.25 hrs from Dryden to here.  Except for maybe half hour delay due to reduced speeds in construction zones which was really good considering it's been tonnes worse weekends, the rest was city congestion from the Mint to dntn.  This was due to a blockage on Fermor due to a bad accident this morning - was finally opened up 5:00ish.  I've not heard the details and feel for those involved.

Now will try to relax and figure out what I do now that I'm home again!!!

Feeling Accomplished!

What do you do when the hired carpenter isn't able to come and do the desired work?  Well you do it yourself by removing the small cabinet that was way too high over the toilet, removing the trim, adding braces to the back so it can be lowered onto the wallboard and hung back up with Len and my help holding it while Sylvia anchored it in place.  Then you go out and buy ready made cabinets and make them fit!!!!  Yep that's what Len told Sylvia to do and we promptly left to purchase bathroom towel cabinets (yes 2) and assembled them with some minor carpentry by Sylvia and we made them to fit the cubby hole.  So now she can sorta put her bathroom back to order.  Just some additional shelving cut to fit the double deep cupboard we made, 2 towel bars to be hung and trim put back and VOILA it'll be fixed up!!!!
