Holy crap, I need to be a millionaire to get any type of work done on my house. For if I had a million dollars, I could afford to hire a general contractor who would then coordinate all this crap for me. Also, I wouldn't have to eat Kraft Dinner. Though I would eat Kraft Dinner - I'd just eat more. With fancy Dijon ketchup.
Finally broke free of the latest bureaucratic loop (you need A to apply for B, you need B to get a quote for C, you need a quote for C to finalize A) with some good, old-fashioned begging and pleading. Now I need to try and wrangle three different contractors into completing this project in the needed order.
Currently awaiting a phone call from the Scotiabank appraiser-guy to find out if we can get the amount of money we need. Banking-lady assures me that we will get the money in some way. I hope to gods she is right. If nothing goes kablooey, we should be signing our life away tomorrow at 4pm, and can then bring our 10% down to lock in a date with the Basement-guy. Once I have a date locked in, I can schedule the contractor and plumber around that.
Tonight, I need to go to Gregg's Plumbing & Heating to price out furnaces and water-heaters. Oh! Kat's home. Time to go.feels like:  busy |

Not Gregg's Plumbing and Heating!

No! Don't use Gregg's Plumbing and Heating! My mother used them once, and they were extremely creepy, trying to get her to sign up for something like a monthly plumbing plan (very persistent) and without any sense of humour whatsoever. Plus, one of the things they fixed last year broke again last month.

Our basement-contractor works with them often, and so this is why we're going with them. Also, if you get them to install everything for you (roughing in the plumbing, hooking up the stuff), and anything breaks, they cover it 100%.
I will watch for the creepiness. Luckily, we won't be living in the house when they're working.
Who is this, btw?

Sorry - it's Shakti, apparently now lurking anonymously on your blog.
And I'm sure my mother would rather pay a different plumbing company to fix our downstairs toilet than get Gregg's back in. *shiver*
