So, we have our friend Dennis over for dinner last nite. We asked him if we were to have a bench built for our corner window would it be done right? He smiled and said Almost. This made us laugh because that is exactly what we had been talking about earlier.
You see, our new speakers had blown out and we took them to be fixed at this store that had been recommended to us. The guy fixed them easy as could be...and we were thrilled. Well, when Mike and Ryan went to set them up again...Wouldn't you know the guy fixed it, but then put the back on upside down...it was fixed..Almost. And my washer/dryer...well, the dryer still vents into the ceiling...they never fixed it...so it runs...Almost. Our stove top has 3 burners that work... So, you get the picture.
Tonight we had a sidetable/buffet delivered...in pieces. They put it together in the apt. It's a pretty piece made of mahogany that we are using for a TV table. The guy worked two or more hours putting it together, even assembling the drawers right here. All except for the 3 last handles. Didn't have all the parts. And we wanted holes in the back piece for cords, etc. So after two hours he said he'd be right back. Hmmmm...we sat there and waited for 2 hours. Both Mike and Ryan said he wouldn't be back with the parts to finish...I said, give them until 10pm and then I'll say they aren't coming....I love this part...at 9:50 the doorbell rings and there is a different guy with the rest of the parts. ( I loved the look on their faces!) So he puts the drawer handles on and then begins to put the holes in the back with the wrong kind of saw and rips of the wood on the back panel. We have a lovely TV cabinet...Almost. They are supposed to come back with the new back to put on. We'll see. May end up like the dryer. Oh well.
We also bought a beautiful carved bookcase that was delivered today. We think they just finished staining it before they brought it over. Our books are on it with pictures from home. We are nearly done shopping. Amen and amen.
It's starting to feel more like home...Almost.

You could make the argument that Ryan and Dad were right. I mean He didnt come back, so I mean if I were them I would make that argument.
