What a mess...

Beth was up at 7am as today was some day of church thing. I got up and got dressed as the electrician was going to be here at 9am. Beth got home around 8:45am and I went downstairs to walk. I came back up at 10:30am and the electrician was still not here. Beth called at 11am and still no answer. I went to try and do a load of laundry and what a mess that was. Let's just say that Wednesday is not a good day for laundry. The electrician finally showed up at 11:30am. We explained what we wanted and off to work he went. He could not speak very good English, but enough so we understood each other or at least we thought so. So 2 hours later we got the one electrical outlet fixed and our cable wire around the ceiling, but not fished through the wall as we had asked. We tried to tell him it was a solid plaster wall and to go through the drywall wall and some how that got all messed up. The holes he made for the opening near the air vent we bigger than they needed to be, but the crown molding will hide that. So we will not be using that company again. Beth went out for her walk and to walk off some of her frustration. She ran into Betty, our friend on the 9th floor, and she came to see the damage. She gave us a name of a couple of people she used for her crown molding work, her door guy, and her window guy. I finally finished the laundry around 4pm and Beth took a nap. We had pancakes for dinner as it is the start of meatless Fridays. Beth was able to get the storage unit put together in the garage and we have to get a couple brick to raise it up off the floor incase of flooding. Dawn said they had 5 inches of snow at home and the roads were not too bad. It will be bitter cold the next few day, so we are so glad we are not there.
