There's one day of work left. One day.
Deck skirting.
Hanging ceiling fan and 2 HEAVY mirrors.
Bring and install drawer in upstairs vanity.
I think I can install the mirrors....a little worried about plumbing and plumbing vent pipes.
The skirting......I could just remove entirely, and maybe feel better about it, entirely.
The drawer, though......I need that drawer.
If contractor doesn't come back......bc he's been sick and maybe feels unmothered, (all I can think of, plus a small embarrassing mistake installing GFI outlets....wires under, instead of over, at nice neighbor's, requiring an electrician be hired)bc of it.....I can trade back his wet vac, stud finder and mud/grout stuff for the drawer.....and we'd be square. Also, I could pet the goats and pigs.
The Mexican family, at lake, are happily considering the install of wedding "arch" and what employment opportunities a venue present for them. Same for me. They care for an elderly mother, and the husband isn't working.....his son is special needs......it seems like the universe is lining me up for her....for me....but then, maybe not. But maybe, lol.
Maybe.
I'll stick with that.
I'm definitely not going to Island for Thanksgiving. I'm heading to lake..... that's the priority.
As for any updates, to island guest cottage......I depend on my real handyman, who house is eeper is angry with. The thing is......she fell down (fig.) with the he water heater problem. Left me hanging.....and so did her brother "caretaker." IF they were on top of, things they complained about, that's one thing. They're not. My brother solved the water heater problem, bc he was headed to island anyway.
My real handyman was late answering my text and wasn't available. I think word got around..... he's been blamed for water leak and won't be brought back to work at cottage.
Which leads me ......
to this.....
"Caretaker" has to rise, and do repairs with me. Replace bathroom walls.....paint everything. Caulk. I have no idea how the cistern is doing in his house. He has no hot water heater, which means he comes and goes at the cottage, still. A problem...... maintenance and checks of the seawall wooden bridge.....the roof. Many problems.
Maybe a new roof, seawall install and guesthouse project in January/February. I can ride with brother. He can carry in materials? Maybe? Some, at least. I can order roofing from Nassau and avoid the taxes, shipping and whatever dealing with local government requires now.
Seawall ......same, but requires a permit. Permit? I think, ya....permit.
Maybe build a little house on unclaim d property, to prevent Cecil from claiming my end of it?
There's issues ...as always.
