Yin & Yang

Good news: I had a good 2nd day.

Bad news: I came home to find the progress on my bathroom to be unacceptable. It seems that the building staff is attempting to replace the tile in the shower and bathroom walls themselves rather than hire a contractor. (I suspect that this is because the managing agent balked at the quoted prices.) The upshot is that it looks like shit, with the wrong size tile used on some places and other tiles already are cracked. The new tiles don't look anything like the old ones. I would rather have had them put in a funky color and at least have a cool stripe than two different shades of white. Worse, Husband touched a tile and it fell off the wall.

Good news: I won't be home to deal with it.

  2. Oh my... another reason I would never live in a condo or someplace with an association, or even rent again if I could help it.

  3. Well, yeah, Husband has a little more flexibility right now since he's been in his job for years and years. I did feel sort of bad about it, though.

    And No Regrets, if I didn't have to live in a co-op (or condo), believe me, I wouldn't! That's definitely one of the downsides to living in Manhattan, though.
