The nightmare that some refer to as the addition on the house (3 new bedrooms for the kids) continues. Saturday, Trisha and I spent an hour and a half waiting for the incompetent workers at Lowes to be of some assistance, any assistance at all would have been nice. Eventually we discovered that they didn’t have the insulation I was looking for and we ended up leaving there with just the lumber. Lucky for them it was already loaded on to the cart, and I didn’t really wanna load it all again.
Next stop… Home Depot. Once there, after a bad attitude from some arrogant guy claiming he was unable to help me until I removed my Jimmie Johnson hat (oops… sorry Tony), we purchased the insulation and spent the rest of the day… well into the night… laying down the insulation, and installing the sleeper boards.
Early Sunday morning it was right back out to the competing hardware stores for more shopping excitement. After a quick stop for some Boston Creme breakfast treats at Dunkin Donuts, we found the flooring we needed at Lowes. The rest of the day was spent cutting and nailing. Damn those people at TLC for making this stuff look so easy.
Next step, wiring, insulation, heating (?), windows, sheetrock… ugh. There’s no end in sight.
Got Thoughts?
By all means share them, and start the conversation.
