Hello everyone! Sorry I have not been blogging for quite some time!
We have been quite busy. I thought I would update a bit on what
is going on. First, an update on Obie…..and at the moment I am
kind of irritated with our little boy! He kept us up half the night last night!
We had a terrible rain and wind storm and that makes him very anxious. We
barely got any sleep. He paces and whines and pees….well leaks! Up and out
we took him and mopped and sopped. I’m tired and guess who has had their
breakfast, gone outside again, had their insulin and is now napping?
That’s right! Him!…not me! Arggg! Oh well…..
at least he is healthy in every other way. He turns 11 in a few days. That’s pretty
good. Ok…another update is our kitchen floor.
The last post I made about it
mentioned that our tiles were coming up. What a nightmare this has been. I can’t
even tell you how sick this has made us. The tiles are lifting now even more and
the grout is crumbling. One day I said to my husband…”Call Lowe’s”. He looked at
me funny and said “Why would we call Lowe’s? They are not going to do anything.”
Well, that turned out to be not true, and that phone call was our saving grace.
Turns out, the person at Lowe’s who originally walked us through all the “stuff” we needed
to make this project happen, gave us the wrong bonding agent for the tiles!! He
gave us the type that needs an additive and never told us. We now believe he
didn’t even know. It was a kid that started working at Lowe’s not too long before that,
stayed there for
one month and moved on. After talking with the manufacturer of the Mega bond,
they put the blame back on Lowes. Next, Lowe’s asked us to come to the store and pick out a floor.
That’s all they would say….so we went and looked at floors. What does this mean?
After a bit of a dance with the manager, Lowe’s is paying for our kitchen floor to be
torn out, and completely replaced by one of their professional crews. Can you believe it?!!!
We are thrilled that it is being replaced without cost to us, but not happy about being
under construction once again. We will have to probably get a motel for a couple of nights and
find a place for the animals. Ok….guess who is awake and wants to go back outside!! You guessed it!
My little Jack Russell!! I’ll be back soon to write more. Hope you are all well. Has anyone talked to Dawn?
