Contractor Cleanup

Our handyman team spent all of last week working on our house. They mostly attended to the bathroom in our master bedroom. They completed all the work except the replacement of our back storm door. That is on order and should be here in two weeks. The handymen did some moderate cleanup of the mess they made. However there is more work to be done.

Momoko got a new air conditioner in her study. It is located high on the wall. She had to go get an appliance extension cord to plug it into the wall. Momoko's towel rack in the bathroom fell off the wall twice. This is a left over from when the kids painted the bathroom. They lost the original screws to the towel rack. The replaced them with screws that just don't quite work. Might need to just buy a whole new towel rack.

The handymen put down some new tile in our shower. They had to take the shower doors off entirely to do so. When they put the doors back, they installed them backwards. The doors work frontwards or backwards. However now the cruddy inside of the doors faces on the outside. It just looks bad. I attacked them with Kaboom soap scum remover. It seemed to work quite well. I wonder what kind of evil chemicals are in it.

I did want our handymen to give me a quote on building a massive shed in our back yard. This is no small feat. They need to remove the metal shed we have, including the concrete base it sits on. Then they need to build up a level concrete pad that is much larger than the old one. These guys will have to get a permit for the shed, which from my own experience could be a long task. I figure this shed is going to cost a small fortune. But we really want a new shed.
