Hey Gailster
I am so terribly sorry that Rocky has left you. I knew this day was approaching, and I am sure all of us on here are sorry for your loss. As you began to tell us he was not dong well, I feared opening a post, to realize the inevitable. I am so sorry that it was today. You must be devastated, as well as Greg.
I wish there was something we could do to make you feel better. Losing a beloved pet is so awful.
Well, here is the drama of the day. The back splash is in, and it will come back out. Although this was a very nice young man, he came over 2 hours late, and took a lot of phone calls outside, while he was here. He did share with me that his Uncle way dying, and I felt terrible for him. But the tiles in a few areas, are not lined up, and look awful. Plus, a few of them are broken. I did not see this until after he left, when I got closer to the tiles, as from the other side of the kitchen . Plus, I was so busy cleaning up the mess on the bottom cabinets, counters, and floor, and then washed the floor, I was pretty tired at end of day. He told me to Windex the tiles again, in 4 hours, which I did, with the help of Minnion Marissa.
So, I labored over what to do for a while yesterday- he was actually dome with this job in about 3 hours. I honestly think he did the grout way too fats, and that is what made the tiles all move. After much harassment from Gary, and Bobby, I called. I was reluctant to call, as I knew full well what a demo of tiles would entail. I am sickened by this entire project. The install manger did stop by yesterday, while the kid was doing the install for a “Quality check”. I did find that odd, I may say. that same person came this morning, and took all pics of the tiles, and apologized. I told her I did not want this kid fired, and did not want that on my head. Gary told her about all the calls he received, as I was not going to say anything about that. She said she was glad he told her, as the next person may not be as nice as I was bout this. So, I added, I am nice now, but, I have to tell you, when they come back to do the rip out and install, I will not be as nice, as I am not going to clean all that mess. I expect the entire kitchen to be taped off, an the doorways taped off so no dust gets into the rest of the house- this one is on them, and I am not cleaning everything in my cabinets again.
So, I attached pics from the good side of the kitchen- notice the hood fan is not yet back in it’s little place. I do love the tiles- love them, actually. I am just sick at the thought of what this will entail, to fix it all. It must have been an omen, when all this became a disaster, and I should have listened to my heart, and cancelled the entire job.
Even so, all this is still nothing to the loss of you puppy. there is just no comparison to that at all. I would bet you would rather have this dilemma, than deal with your loss. Hands down. I am so sorry, Gail that poor Rocky is gone.
Hope your day is ok. Also hope that Greg gets the results of the MRI soon, and that it is the crystals, as that is fixable.
