The contractor didn't show up....of course! He had called yesterday and said he was going to be here *around* noon. Noon came and went. He finally called around 3pm or so and gave the Beast some lame ass excuse. I told the Beast last week that he should find another contractor but he likes the quality of the work he did on Tara's house so he's not quite ready to call it quits. The bad part of it is that our garage door should be here and the guy ready to install it next Monday. I have no idea how long it's going to take to fix the framework of the garage but it had BETTER be ready for when the guy who is going to install the garage door shows up. OR ELSE!
Chewlee took some more pictures for the Beast today and they turned out just great! In fact, he's already printed out another 16x20 that is destined for *the wall*. When Chewlee is in the right mood, she takes some really good pictures. I love it when she has a natural smile and not one she forces herself to make. You can tell the difference BIG TIME! I was really a bit surprised that she was willing to take some pictures today since she wasn't feeling all that well when she got here. Her appetite came back with a bang once she was here, however. I think it might actually be some kind of sympathy sickness due to the Princess' pregnancy.
Yes, now that the Princess has posted about her pregnancy on Facebook so the friends and most of the relatives know, I can mention it here on my blog. I think she's due in June sometime but I have to ask her again. I know where Chewlee gets her chatterbox tendencies from because the Princess, once she gets started, can keep talking until your mind reels and you forget what you want to tell or ask her. I almost think I should just ask Chewlee because she can be a wealth of information at times. However, her only realization of months is how long until her next birthday....LOL!
It's supposed to be in the 20's at night for the next week and the Beast is really worried about our pipes in the garage freezing since we have no door. The nice thing about the new door is that it is insulated, did I mention that at all? Anyway, he and Dennis went to Lowe's to get some plywood to cover the garage door opening. IF the contractor shows up tomorrow (pardon me if I am not a believer), they arranged it so that the sheet closest to the area that needs repair can be easily removed. But at least now he's not worried about the pipes freezing. It's just the night that worries him. After the repair is made (if it is...!), the plywood that was removed can easily be put back up in under five minutes. That's the beauty of owning a nail gun...LOL !
I told you what our nights are going to be like and I have already put the baseboard heater on high to warm up my bedroom. Oh, not TOO warm and it will be turned down to low when it's bedtime and I have climbed under the warm blankets. I like to breathe in cooler air when I am sleeping but I really do miss my electric blanket. That's something else I have to try to find out in the cottage...LOL ! I know, I know...I'm a wimp. But you love me anyway, right?
Love you all and I hope your work week goes well and you keep warm and cozy. Drive carefully. The life you save just might be your own! **Wink**
