Okay. I said I wouldn't go for long periods of time between postings...well, lots has happened.
First we were all sick for about a month. That was terrible and would rather not have a repeat of that.
Than the next month we had a mess in our house. I will try not to go into details, but rather just give you an overview because it still makes me upset thinking about it. One evening my husband was looking for some cold weather military gear when he found some water beetles and something that looked like mold under one of his foot lockers in our master bedroom closet. Well, we had people come out and look at it and they thought it was mold and there was a leak coming from somewhere. We found out our shower pan in our master bathroom was cracked and leaking into our closet area. I was not happy because we were still trying to get over our colds now our house smelled of terrible mildew and we now had to sleep on an air mattress in our living room till the following Monday before anybody could do anything. We were told it would take a total of four days to fix.
Well four days turned into four weeks. In that time frame the contractors did terrible jobs, the housing office wasn't staying on top of things, and I had to go keep reminding them of what their jobs were. Finally I had to bark up to the head office twice before things would get moving. Because things were so bad they put us up in a hospitality suite; which is just another word for a house down the road till our place could get fixed. It took four weeks for them the replace the pan in our shower, replace the drywall, the tile, baseboard, spray for bugs, clean up their mess and have our matting under our carpets replaced, than have our carpets steam cleaned. With three kids, being misplaced out of our house was crazy. The whole time it was stressful because they kept missing deadlines, feeding us bull, then telling us a contractor had been fired, another was in jail...etc. I am not kidding this was the crud we had to go through. I explained to them that if they were not contracted by the military and were elsewhere that they would lose business for the way they conducted themselves.
Better yet when they said it was all done my husband was the first to take a shower and when I walked in there was water all over the floor...right then and there I was about to lose it. Four weeks of waiting and now this. Needless to say I had people over that day and they weren't going to leave till they got it fixed. They then tried to tell me they would have to order a part and weren't sure how long that was going to take. I looked at them and said, I don't care if you have to take a shower door off of someone's shower but this will be fixed, four weeks has been long enough. Low and behold we found out the problem. They put the shower door on backwards and they had to put some sealant and had to wait 36 more hours before we could use it.
So now I hope you can see we have been rather pre-occupied with other things. We didn't have internet for the month we were out of our house which made things a little more difficult. Just pray that we have no other problems to deal with.
