Lots of you have got been asking how I’m doing – and general I’m doing high quality however there may be plenty of child stuff to replace you on and that shall be posted over the subsequent week. Nothing is improper.
However I wished to take a minute to have slightly little bit of a rant. A pair months in the past Eric and I made an inventory of all the pieces we need to get achieved earlier than the newborn arrives. Most are residence enchancment sort issues – like lightening work in my workplace or changing the island in our kitchen. I can’t consider HOW MUCH OF A STRUGGLE it has been to get issues achieved. The issues that we now have to do the place the duty is on us usually are not a lot of a problem akin to having a storage sale or reorganizing the storage. Although I’ll say my power degree is getting decrease day by day – by the top of the day I can’t preserve my head up. However our concern is after we try to rent anybody to do work for us. I really feel like we can’t be the one ones.
I did tons of analysis, took suggestions from my neighbors, principally did all the pieces I might do to ensure what we wanted to get achieved bought achieved. I can’t consider we’re 0/4 on getting initiatives achieved when scheduled. It is a mixture of self-employed and corporations.
- Kitchen Island – vetted the corporate. Paid the $1200 ( which is some huge cash to us). They got here out and made the measurements. Stated achieved inside 2 weeks. It has been 1.5 months and about 10 calls/emails and we lastly have an set up date subsequent Friday – that is after 1 month of delays. Aspect notice – we discover that there’s a widespread incidence the place an organization says ” oh we texted you and also you by no means texted again” – once they by no means texted within the first place ( boy don’t ask for proof of the despatched textual content as a result of you’ll be ghosted).
- Workplace Lightening – We beforehand used the corporate 2 years in the past – zero concern. I’ve no ceiling lights in my workplace which has been arduous on me for the final 7 years. So we took an enormous portion of the storage sale cash to pay for a lightweight to be put in ( beneath $1k job). We had been all set for the set up and 5 minutes after the tech was suppose to reach we get a name saying they referred to as out and we must wait. I perceive folks calling out however there was no apology – like sorry concerning the inconvenience. It was extra that they had been irritated to name us and must schedule one thing new.
- Automotive Bumper – Eric snagged my automobile bumper and broke a bracket. Not an enormous deal however one thing we wished to get fastened. We had been referred to an area automobile store from the vendor. Eric paid for the work and components ( this can be a couple hundred greenback factor). We had been instructed convey the automobile in on Sept twentieth for the set up. In fact we now have to plan our day round issues like this. Eric drives the automobile to the appointment simply to be instructed – whoops we by no means ordered the half and there’s no ETA after we can truly get the work achieved. In fact they nonetheless have his cash.
- Automotive Detailing – I purchased my automobile a number of months in the past – it’s a 13 yr previous Versa hatchback. I like it however when it arrived ( I purchased it from Carvana) it was clear that it was a not tremendous clear on the within. Not soiled in any respect however not clear clear. Bought a bunch of my stuff on the storage sale to pay for a automobile detailing – nothing fancy however one thing good I might not usually do. This was my massive splurge earlier than child is right here. Bought an area suggestion on a one individual owned firm in my very own small city. Scheduled the cell detailing – and a day or so earlier than the date they cancelled the order. No purpose. So I schedule with somebody new – regionally owned ( I actually prefer to assist native corporations). This was suppose to be for yesterday. I allow them to know in an electronic mail a number of day earlier than that we’d be gone for portion of the time he can be engaged on the automobile ( we had been going to a pumpkin patch) – I wished to be sure that the beginning time would work – so I could possibly be there to go over some scratches on the automobile, and many others. He mentioned no drawback. I awoke yesterday to an electronic mail that learn that they’d be half-hour late or so due to a scheduling battle. I ended up canceling the appointment. I’m going to move to Greenback Tree at the moment for some cleansing provides.
I don’t usually rant like this however I’m pregnant and drained and we at present have $1500+ paid to corporations that appear to not care to get the work achieved.
