Plumbers!?!?

Our house had a hideous blue tiny bathroom. In the bathroom, there were 20 shades of blue. The floor tiles were light blue, the bathtub tiles were a darker blue, there was blue floral wallpaper with a blue floral border, the shower curtain was blue, the toilet seat was blue, the window covering was blue, and there are still blue sea shells pasted on the tube. I'm a fan of blue. I can even claim to love blue. But this bathroom. HIDEOUS!!! So we tore everything down. Since the bathroom is studs we are contemplating knocking out a closet and making the bathroom larger. I called two plumbers to come to the house and give us an estimate of moving all the plumbing work. Both plumbers said it would be possible to stop by the house on Wednesday afternoon, but they would call to confirm the time. I waited by the phone Tuesday night. No phone call. I checked my phone multiple times during the school day on Wednesday. No phone call. I waited by the phone Wednesday while I ran errands and cleaned. No phone call. Now I'm frustrated. We want to get this house done, and we are waiting on plumbers. We can't paint, clean, or carpet until the plaster is up.

Summer fast approaching.

This is an extremely exciting time for us. The wedding is fast approaching, school is almost done and Christopher and I bought a house! So my life has been a little hectic recently. We bought Christopher's grandfathers house. We closed on Saturday, May 5. We have begun the demolition. We have gutted the bathroom down to the studs, the carpet and tack strips have been removed through the whole house, the wallpaper is in the process of removing, and we took the sliding door out. It is a mess! I'm extremely excited to see the house when we are complete with this summers work.
