you hear about renovation nightmares all the time but that doesn't make it any better when you are in the middle of one yourself.
we got the appliances back into the kitchen minus the use of the dishwasher (they have lost the clamp whatever that is). the tiles still need re-grouting and the baseboards still need replacing but at least we can cook. i was pleasantly surprised to come home today to find them working on the bathroom. i've been feeling kind of ill today so i went for a lie down and only got up when they were leaving. i checked out the bathroom and found they they had installed the shower floor. yey i thought until i noticed that there was small scratchy concrete pieces on the white shower "tray" and realised that they had been walking all over it in big boots. i saw one or two scratches and then i walked out of the room before i had to deal with more. we paid $700 for that shower tray because we needed to get a special retrofit one and now it's all scratched because they were too stupid to cover it while they were working. i don't know whether to laugh or cry or be sick. i want this over. i want to be pregnant and i want to move back to england. i don't want to deal with this crap. and yes i know people are dying in the lebanon but right now i'm too selfish to put things into perspective.
