And this a new ring of my home improvement hell. Windows.

The window guys screwed up the order, installed broken windows and two that don’t fit, had to leave them installed (with the gaps plugged with wood) to go get NEW windows (meaning they are searching down warehouses in the state because they had to order these in the first place), finish the windows that do actually fit and endure my husband’s wrath.

The local district bigwig from Home Depot (where we contracted to get the windows) is on the jobsite today. I feel so much better. Not. Hubby wrathing at him as they tour the damage. Pray the bigwig’s other job isn’t working for FEMA.

(Actually that is a cheap shot. Home Depot is being very responsive. I just know that responsive doesn’t always mean fixed. We’ll see.)

This one day job is now on day two with signs of going on tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Dude is NOT happy that he has no curtains and can’t shut his bedroom door. Let’s not talk about the stress factor there.  And I am sure Maddie has a sinus infection after a week and half of drainage and pain so I am taking her to the doc at 3p.m.

Tomorrow: the Garage Door Installer comes. Now, I say this won’t affect anything, but really, I just don’t want to tempt fate.

Now, I want someone to remind me WHY it is that owning a home is “The American Dream” ? And WHY in a housing slump contractors are so crappy?
