| This Morning on the New Counters |
This will be the last Frail Deeds
posting for a few days as I embark on the long awaited and certainly most
welcome final phase of the Ex-Californians move to New Jersey. We’re loading up
the car tonight after work and journeying to the Garden State so we can be on
site for tomorrow’s closing on their first house. I’m heartbroken I couldn’t be
a better host because of all the construction going on at home but they handled
it like the true troopers they are. Anyways, I’ll be too busy driving and
moving household goods to spare writing time.

Yesterday I had one of the most
frustrating days on record and we all know my record is fairly extensive. The
granite guys were supposed to show up at 1000AM so I arranged to work from home
until that time. I received a call around 1030 that they would be delayed until
1230 and I said fine and went into the office. I returned for lunch and waited
and waited and then waited some more. I finally called around 2pm and after
fifteen attempts they finally answered the phone and reported to be only 40
minutes out. By 4pm and still no appearance I was ready for cold blooded
murder. Deckzilla Dude who was hanging around to help was honestly worried
about their health if they ever showed up. On my final call they reported to be
just ten minutes out, forty five minutes later they finally did show up. The
saving grace was they were very good at their job and with a carpentry assist
from Deckzilla Dude they got everything in and it looks great. I even tipped
them which I’m now confounded by; I attribute it to the fumes.

| The New Counters |
It’s a qualified “everything” since my
wife arranged for a new sink which means the old plumbing beneath the sink has
to be changed out and of course the counter guys couldn’t do that. So I have
great looking counters now but no kitchen water other than the fridge. I
beginning to think my wife is really going to owe me for arranging all this and
then flying south for the winter.

| She Was Back on the Slide Yesterday |
They finished up around 8pm and I then
had to drive the Wonder Pooch down to Rhode Island so Great Aunt and Soxfather
could dog-sit while I’m running around New Jersey. I was exhausted by the time
I got down there and back. I guess being angry and frustrated, as I was most of
the day, is draining. On the up side I get to hang with my daughter’s family
for the next couple days and experience one of the seminal events of their life
as they move into their first house. Rejuvenation!
