morning grrrrrr

it is really a rotten form of brain-washing these days. due to soap companies and others who don't really know biology or microbiology. what it is doing is breeding more-resistant bacteria/etc. already seeing it play out as they say that hand-sanitizers are no-longer as effective as they used to be against certain creatures... hmm, like, yeah, you can't go applying selection pressures to huge populations of creatures and not expect them to respond...

I like my dishwasher. When I am cooking up a lot, using big pots and such, I clean as I go and that includes washing up the big stuff. Dishwasher gets the little stuff.

I would give up my stove before dishwasher, but cleaning lady comes before all

update 12/8/18..........well here you go
View attachment 29617
it's been a 5 weeks since the owner of the remodeler came out and promised the moon... after 2 weeks he called and said that the insurance agreed to the proposal we received a copy of it, after both of us really started to look at it the numbers were not adding up so we called him only to get voice mail,..

after 3 weeks sent him a text to call me 2 days later he called back told him that some of the measurement were off, mainly the vinyl and no mention of installing new lower and upper cabinets just replacing the busted up ones... he said that all the figures are off a bit and he would have a revised to insurance and us by weeks end.... asked why the vinal was 41 sf off, he was going to install it after the lower cabinets were install..... told him the sheet goods come in 12' and the kitchen is 11'6" and i wanted it wall to wall.... while on the phone he said he would be out wednesday to go over the new proposal and he wants to start in 2 weeks....we called the insurance to see if he did put in a revisement.. nope friday called him back told him the insurance has not received his new bid, and till we here from them that it would be best we hold off

week 4 no call no show.... we had enough of his sh!t so a friend said that he has a friend that does this type of work called him yup he can do it all, told him that we will pay for all the materials and he would need to pick them up and install....um i usually have the client pay and pick up ready for me to install... let me think about this and i will call you back...have not heard from him....

week 4 1/4 dd aid that her friend amy dad has a friend that does remodeling took about a week for him to get with us...been out of town and yes he would like to come over and yes he can do everything dw said that needs to be done.. so the earliest appointment would be ...12/8/18 today we really hope this person can do it....

week 5... so in the meantime we called around to other remodelers... oh no we dont work on manufactured homes... guess they are to stuck up..
so this morning after going out for breakfast we went to a flooring company very nice person, the first thing i asked do you install in a manufactured home?...yes!

great lets talk they has the green carpet and a nice oak plank sheet good, handed him my sf figures and what the insurance was allowing he said yes we can do that. i would still need to come out and do my own measurements want to make sure we can say with in the limit and if we can do it under you will save some money...
so he will be coming out next wednesday....at this point dw and i dont care if is over we want floors....

as for appliances they will be here next saturday fridge, range and water heater 30 gallon.. did pick up water heater drip pan today.

as for cabinets and countertops thats been fun, the place where we are going to purchase them asked for a detailed measurements of the existing cabinets after a couple opp's we have all the upper and lower cabinets picked out way with in budget for just replacing the lower cabinets and countertops all hardwood and plywood, not like the box stores hardwood and pressboard.. leaving the door hardware up to the dw....

so for the next week we will still be living out of ice chests, weather the rest gets done before christmas or not we are going to have a wonderful christmas dinner.

as of today we are going on 100 days of morning ...grrrrrrr

oh you are probility wondering why there is a fan on the floor, the fridge side stop working but the freezer side kept working till tuesday and the drip pan underneath the fridge was full of water and we did not want any water getting on the bare floor...

If you did not give him any money find a new contractor.

Major, so glad you get your bonus, plus the timber sale check sounds like a real blessing for you and your family.

As far as doing dishes, to each his own.
I have a dishwasher but would rather do them by hand. My washer is not state of the art or quiet and I have to regularly rewash too many dishes, even when they are pre-rinsed to make it worthwhile to me.
And a new machine is not worth the expense for me when I have a list of other projects waiting to be funded.

Hot water and soap, hot water rinse and dried with a fresh clean towel = plenty sterile for me.
No drainer either, just one of those mats and the dishes are put away immediately leaving the counter clear.
I like looking out the window and letting my mind wander while I tidy up. Good time for reflection or planning.

oh yes it was a blessing till yesterday morning...grrrrrrr dw got in her car was able to back up, put the in forward.... nothing..... best i have been able to find online the torque converter locked up or transmission control module..so it could be 500+ or 2600+ will tow it down to work and have them look it over next week....

on a happier note our appliances should be here saturday between 8 am and 8 pm....

Sure seems like you have been going through a lot. When it rains it pours. Hope it stops raining soon.

Its simply not fair, Major. Not fair at all what you're going through.

 

[baymule]

Between 8AM and 8 PM, that means that you wait ALLLLLLL day and they show up at 8:30. LOL

Hope the tranny fix is something simple and cheap.
