Carpet Yes..Tile maybe…

What’s the deal with Tile.  I swear I am tile cursed.

Oh we have tile…it’s been at my house since Thursady morning.  The first kid that was there start putting the backerboard stuff over top fo the vinyl floor… uh.. I paid $600 to have the vinyl and stuff under that removed.  The new cement backer board goes over the plywood then the tile goes in.  The laundry room has to be re-done as the backer board was all installed there.

Also, apparently my neighbor called to local police to complain.  All turns out ok on the noise / work front – the neighbors having a bad time of it…so that’s worked out.

No work happened Friday.  Hello?

Saturday…the carpet went in.  The tile guy was there…they have all the places marked where the tile goes so the carpet went in.  Carpet looks great.  Carpet guy did good work.  I should have asked if he does tile…

When I spoke with the Tile guy…he said they’d be done Friday and maybe be finishing off a bit Saturday morning.  It’s 1:17am Sunday morning, and not a bit of tile is in.  I emailed the water heater place asking to delay the install of the water heater until Wednesday.  No way I’m in my place by Monday.

le’sigh.

On a good night, the carpet really does look very nice.  And the 18″ tile I picked out also will go well with it…as soon as it’s in.

It all has to be over with by next weekend, right?
