What Have We Done?

At risk of boring some of you to death - the floor man cometh. Thursday, we will have a real floor in the now barren and empty sewing room. Being of sound mind and to the best of my ability, everything from the sewing room, kitchens, pantry, laundry room and foyer is somewhere else. The resident QI LOVES IT ! My cutting table measuring a nice 4ft by 8ft is hard against the fireplace. It's draped with quilts in assorted states of coming and going. It stands precariously on Yogi's bear fur rug. Ah. Wonderful. We knew that toddlers loved to make tents with their 'blankees' but this is ridiculous. Yogi seems to think that we've rearranged his world purely to make him extremely comfortable. Under the table, on the fur rug and with his short little legs propped upon the hearth - Ah. Life is good. I did get to do a little bit of quilting today but I was very careful not to disturb the QI.

Now I am jealous. You have a floor man cometh. I'm still trying to get bids on my kitchen. I'm contacting the state licensing agency to verify the contractor does have a proper license with them and not just in the county. I'm also contacting the BBB to see if the contractors are in good standing, and trying to find satisified customers so I can look at work the contractors have done.

Since Katrina being gun shy of contractors with a general contract listing absolutely nothing but the total costs and amount wanted up front raises the hair on the back of my neck.

You'd be surprised at how many contractors want nothing to do with me when I say I want my attorney to look over the contract before I sign on the dotted line.

Is your flooring man a good one and would he travel all the way over here and his fees reasonable, H-u-m-m-m.

By the way I need a herd of goats to mow my lawn. The ground is too wet to get a mower out there in the back 40.

Kate, I can't much imagine that a floor man could make any kind of profit coming all the way over there- the commute expenses would eat him alive. We had to go over into Alabama to find one. The local contractors are exhausted and have contracts backed up for years. I'm thinking having floors is over-rated. What do we need a floor for if we can't find it anyway? We don't have a herd of goats we could send you either, and gators don't do grass. It's nearly time here for Spring Break and they are patiently waiting for the tourists. You should just seem them smile. Polly

You mean you didn't? Even I, as would be Yogi, am stunned at the thought that the Pasha's Tented Throne would be for any other reason.

Just a suggestion......perhaps you could have Floorman imbed a homing chip in the sewing room's new flooring so as to make it easier to find, if such an occasion should ever again arise ;) *snort*

My feline QI Gypsy loves to sleep in my Vera Bradley luggage which is like huge tote bags. I have no idea why but when I get the luggage out to pack for a trip I have to make sure she doesn't get packed along with my clothes. I think she does that so I don't go anywhere. Once I get back from a trip, she does the same thing, I guess to stop me from leaving again. She looks so cute peeking out of this huge tote bag! She doesn't talk, but boy, can she communicate in her own little kitty way!
