my middle grandson came over Sunday to help replace the carpet on the front steps… of course it poured so that didn’t happen…
instead he did a final sand of the drywall in the laundry area and gave it two coats of paint…
what a difference it makes, and it looks so fresh with the white paint…
today we put everything back… those dressers were heavy…

the last few days while my son-in-law was here were focused on the ceiling in the basement where drywall was being reinstalled…
it had been taken down a number of years ago when he installed a Nest thermostat for me on the main floor and new wires had to be run…
it was in the back area and didn’t bother me, but it was on his list to repair…
he did a great job and it looks quite wonderful now…

carpet, drywall, George, headache, insurance, physio, ServiceMaster, tucked me in bed
rough day as I was struggling with a very bad headache… haven’t had one like that in many months… was taking notes for two hours and wondered if I was going to make it till the end…
left work around 2:30 and headed out to my physio appointment… was heated up, bent out of shape, pummeled, iced and electrocuted, then sent home…
looking forward to sleep I found a message from ServiceMaster who wanted to come and check out the carpet and basement wall… one fellow arrived, had a look and called some other guys who came and removed a portion of the underpad and set up blowers and a dehumidifier which will run until Tuesday when they will come back and take out two feet of drywall across the entire wall…
looking into the basement…
then I will wait to hear what the cost of doing a complete fix will be… they won’t do anything until I get home…
fans going under carpet…
finally, after all that I got to have a short nap…
George would have known exactly what to do, sigh… I am missing him like crazy… he would have got me something to eat and drink and tucked me into bed and then dealt with all the craziness in the basement…
