Glad had a good weekend because yesterday wasn't. I spent a good part of the day getting things organized in the garage. I tried to move a shelf and it got stuck and was only rescued by the very nice plumber guy.
Want to be able to put the car in and also will soon need to get the jet skiis in there as well. There were thunderstorms, hail and wind expected last night so wanted to get the car inside. All I need now is hail damage to the car ! The garage is beginning to look pretty organized after several hours of work.
The plumber came out and I learned that there is a foreign object in the stool that cannot be removed by normal means. We can have them take the toilet out and try to dislodge it but the plumber tells me that is hardly ever successful. I went to Home Depot (again) and bought a toilet and they are coming back tomorrow to put it in. It is not covered under the warranty because it is not the result of normal "wear and tear". I guess I need to read the fine print more carefully. I am convinced the former owner had to know of the problem. You can flush the toilet multiple times until the debris builds up around the obstruction and then it overflows. I can see why it wasn't caught by the inspector. He just flushed it and it worked.
So tomorrow we have another plumber visit. Also, I heard from the glass people about the broken pane in the china cabinet. They will be here tomorrow as well. Need to get some of this stuff put to bed. Plan to go see Cowboy again on Thursday.
Today I went and got a much needed pedicure and haircut. I found this really neat place for the pedicure. They serve you a drink in a pretty glass, there is beautiful music playing and TV screens with scenic things to look at. There are some of these "big city" thinks I could get used to. Only $5 more than I am used to. It was a nice break. I was almost embarrassed about how bad my toenails looked.
One of the things I like about being here is the vast number of stores and eating places. I love TACO BUENO and not seen one since I lived in Oklahoma. I went and had a Taco salad and loved every bite.
My daughter really likes the new house and has big plans to fix up the game room and the music room upstairs. I haven't gotten there yet. Too many practical concerns to deal with. I am starting to think about paint colors. This place is so different from my last two domiciles that have to give this some thought.
