Floor angst
Jan. 22nd, 2009 02:37 pmRick the floor guy keeps calling me in to show me some problem and explain all the reasons that things aren't perfect and it's not his fault -- the underfloor slopes so the floor he installs won't be perfectly level, the wood can't butt up against the wall because there needs to be room for shrinkage, the carpet in the storage room next to the living room is going to have a problem where it meets the new floor, and so on.
I suppose he's covering his ass, but all it's doing is upsetting me about the whole thing. I told him that if was trying to tell me I should have gone with carpeting instead of a wood floor, it was a little late for that.
It's probably all going to be fine, but right now I'm crying and worrying that I'm going to hate it all. Stupid of me, I know.
(Does anyone remember the commercial from the 60s or 70s that had the woman with her house all torn up and the contractor or whatever saying "Don't worry, lady, you'll love it"? I don't remember what the commercial was advertising, but the line is burned into my brain.)
