Contractors, Part 17
Price for crappy vinyl storm windows: Expensive, but not exorbitant.
Price for decent wood frame storm windows that go nicely with our home’s double hung vintage windows and fit with era of house: Too much money to discuss.
Next question?
Just heard from a survey company, calling to check and see how our job went. The job that took four months to complete. The job that nearly crushed my frickin’ legs. The painter whose work day was one long break at my dining room table. Reading my paper. Glaring at me when I walked through my dining room.
Yeah, that one.
“Mrs. Wacky? Do you have a few moments to complete a survey regarding Construction Co. from Hell?”
I could have said, “Yeah, THEY’RE ASSHOLES.” Or whatever else came to mind, but what came to mind was, “I don’t think that would be a good idea.”
Caller, “Oh. All right then.” And she hung up.
Internet, I love having a shower that works. It is righteous. But really, do I have to send back the “Certificate of Completion” they’re insisting I sign?
I’m waiting ’til four months are up.
