I realize that things don't always go as planned. It's not unusual to encounter obstacles, delays and unexpected expenses in life as well as home remodeling. BUT DOES EVERY SINGLE DAY HAVE TO BE THAT WAY? Can't there be one day that goes smoothly? I bought the sink and the cabinet base it attaches to for the master bathroom. Three times. Once I found a nicer cabinet, once the sink was too big for the base and once I discovered that the sink was chipped. I had to lug them up 3 flights of stairs each time. The linen closet came in a box with no less than a million pieces. Four of which were missing. Back to Home Depot once again to get replacements. I accidentally got some adhesive on the exterior vinyl wall of the corner shower while we were gluing it in place. I tried ammonia, nail polish remover, peroxide, toothpaste, Vaseline, Massengill and alcohol. The rubbing kind didn't remove the glue either, but the drinking kind made me feel a lot better. My son finally got it off with 10W40. The new sink and linen cabinet were a lot wider than the old sink had been and I feared that there wouldn't be enough room on that one side of the toilet now, as they were all on the same wall. It seemed OK to me when I sat down on it, but Ray said, "Honey? Look! I keep banging my right elbow on the sink when I turn the pages of the newspaper too fast!"
I told him to quit speed-reading and I poured myself another drink...
