The plumber was in and hooked up the plumbing in the bathroom. Not knowing the water was turned back on, I was awakened at 4:00 in the morning with the sound of spurting water and it was not the rain outside. I searched around the basement for the shutoff valve and was able to stop the flood going into the dining room, cleaned up the water and assessed the damage. Thankfully I was at home that night, or there would have been massive damages to the dining room.
I had to sleep away from the house one night because the stairs were being replaced and there was a huge hole where the stairs used to be.
I was woken up very early one morning by the drywall guy coming into the house, not realizing there was someone home and the alarm was on. All I can say is I am glad I wear pajamas. When he came back two days later at least he knocked and I am still glad I wear pajamas.
I have to admit, I finally had a breakdown this morning. After handling the disarray for six weeks, I finally had enough this morning and cried. I am sure it happens to everyone. Another day of no progress, another day of no toilet in the bathroom but a toilet in a box in my dining room and I have had enough. I am at the point where I just want the whole thing over with. As I write this the pain and frustration has been fading a bit, but a sense of exhaustion is lingering.
