....it's another! Now that the holes in the walls are patched and primed - which was news to me, they never primed after patching before - they decided to slop the gray primer on my brand-new light switches/outlets :( UGH! So frustrating when I could have removed them, but since they have never bothered to paint after patching before.... just frustrating.
Then, of all things, the kitchen P-trap drain elbow split in half on me. I was simply investigating to see what the hold-up was as I'm guessing the workers dumped drywall dust and debris in the sink.... then the P-trap split - water everywhere. This is not the first water damage to sully the under-sink cabinet, but damn. Just not what I was trying to focus on as
the real painters are coming tomorrow!!!!At least with all of these headaches, I am finally looking forward to getting it done and over with.

Holy Smokes! That is one huge list! But looks like you almost have it all tackled!! Good job on the ceiling fan! I wouldn't have known where to start with those crazy looking wires!
Thanks, Rebecca! I've kind of developed this attitude of believing I can do something and not giving up until it's done... even if it involves a lot of bruising, scraping and scrapping things together! The ceiling fan wires were not too bad - the balancing on the ladder and holding up heavy stuff with one hand while screwing it in was the hardest part!
