Finally

It took SBC a long time to get us straightened out. We should have been hooked up to DSL on Thursday.....finally got up & running Saturday morning. House.....sigh where to begin. I guess the biggest thing....is the painters. #1 - They are not finished with the painting and 3/4 of our possession are outside in my garage & carport. #2 - They have managed to get paint on the new white carpet in almost every room of the house. #3 - I don't know when they'll be finished painting or what's going to come of this....carpet replacement? Serious reduction in the bill? They initially said they'd be done painting Monday.....then it was Wednesday, then it was Thursday by 1:00 PM......it's now Saturday. They still have 1 bathroom to do, the ceiling in our living room, and doors/trim throughout the house. Hell...most of the paint on the carpet is going to be covered by furniture if we ever get to move it in. I want my home.....if we have to wait for the carpet to be replaced, it could be weeks before we can move all of our stuff inside & actually unpack. For at least $1,000.00 off the painting invoice, I could be convinced to 'ignore' the carpet issue. I just want this to be over with. The last 3 weeks has just been a series of mishaps & frustrations....and I just want to get past it all & get on with my life!
