Even the smallest of construction projects blows through deadlines. What was supposed to be a 3-day project to replace the tile and carpet in the office is now looking more like a 3+ week project thanks to leaky radiator. Mind you, this is the same leaky radiator that was replaced a month ago. And the one we replaced a month ago? Yeah, that one replaced the one we bought 7 months ago in March. Three leaky radiators in 8 months. To quote our plumber, Terry (who we love), “that’s what happens when you ship manufacturing off to China. And unfortunately, this type of radiator is so old and uncommon, I’m not sure I can find anyone else who still makes them other than the Chinese.” Whoever said old houses are “charming” never lived in one. So here are we are … ugly carpet still in place while the other half of the office is a small disaster area. Luckily, all the furniture forms a small blockade so the kiddos can’t get back there.
