The House That Jack-Offs Built

Some of you may know already that Sister Meg and I have been undergoing a double bathroom renovation for over two years. I won't post about that quite yet - you'll know how it all turns out when you open your eyes one bright morning and see MASSACRE AT DESIGN EXPO splashed on the color TV - but it might surprise you to know we've decided to upgrade the kitchen a little (through a different store, needless to say). Nothing super major - just countertops and a backsplash. The counters are gonna be a Corian-like product. We switched from a light granite to a grey granite finish at the last second (we'll see how that turns out). Stainless undermounted sink. White tile backsplash with a little stripe of pewter-finished detail liner. Two short chalkboard-painted walls. They already came and measured and the whole thing is supposed to be done in three weeks. We told them about our troubles with the OTHER store and they are amusingly determined to show them up.

In other news! The toilet leak turned out to be a shower leak so - totally still under warranty and now I think they have to replace my entire bedroom ceiling. Hahahahahaah, eat it, Expo. But until that is fixed, we have a toilet that works upstairs and a shower that works downstairs, and it's very confusing when you wake up in the middle of the night for a second or two. Sometimes I just go outside and pee in the bushes.
