Wishing for another kitchen makeover

Our little house underwent some repairs and renovation a year ago.  As some of you know, I have posted about its construction and how tough it was to supervise workers .  Fortunately, the renovation  was done without any hitch and I can say I did well on a task which is supposedly not a woman’s job. The husband and the big kiddos were happy with the result.  I’m glad with that!  But looking at my kitchen now,  I regret not having replaced the ceramic tiles with a longer lasting granite together with an undermount sink that goes well with the latter.  Hmmm..  had I seen those excellent quality undermount sinks from  M R  Direct,  it would have been a different story for my kitchen.  But who knows?  The family’s financial resources might soon afford another kitchen makeover!  And if that happens, I definitely would deal with M R Direct!      


                                          

I'm dismayed!

The on-going house repair is eating much of my time. I was promised at least 8 days time table to finish the roof replacement but it’s already one week now and only halfway yet. I realized how important it is for me to keep an eye on the works being done. As of this afternoon, I climbed to the roof top to check what has been completed so far. The long span pieces of roofing materials were all in place. I crawled underneath the roof and into the ceiling to check the supporting trusses but what I saw was the inaccurate leveling of the gutter. I’m dismayed by the inaccuracy of level measurement but the foreman insisted otherwise. Annoyed, I poured water on it to see if I’m wrong. Alas, the water hardly flowed! Duh! I couldn’t hide my impatience…

Tomorrow, that crooked gutter would eat their time again instead of moving on to another section. It’s actually a small house repair thing but the task apparently needs a stern supervision. I have yet to see how far I could stretch my tolerance. Maybe for another blunder more? I don’t know!
