Most frustrating day ever
It started out at 7:30 AM when I got up to be ready for the 8:00 appointment when one of the guys doing our sprinklers was supposed to be coming over and needed to be let in the house. After 3 hours of waiting he finally showed up… but it was the wrong guy at the wrong house. My brother-in-law called me to ask if he had showed up yet and I told him the little story of the day so far. Another hour later the real guy showed up and went straight to work.
Ten minutes into the work (soldering pipes) the fire alarms went off… and wouldn’t shut off for about 20 minutes. He went out to the garage and shut off the power to the part of the house that was labeled “smoke detect” in the breaker box, which also took out power to my bedroom, causing me to be unable to get any work done for a while.
After he was done with everything and turned the water back on (so I could finally take a shower) he informed me that he was going to lunch and would be back to finish in a bit. I sat down to do some work, and he apparently came back without my knowing becuase all of the sudden there was banging in the basement that scared the crap out of me. He is finishing the job by hanging pipe from one end of the basement to the other and drilling holes through the wall, all of which is very loud and directly beneath me.
Altogether I would say today has sucked. No sleep, No shower, No edible food in the house, No peace and quiet, No work time, and I’m still soooo BORED! Oh well, at least it is Friday.
