Whiny Bitches and No-Shows
Ahhh, life in the South. We've lived in this house for four years now. When we looked at the house originally, it was a tad shocking to find that our master-bathroom shower has a sliding glass door in it. No, not in place of a shower curtain...in place of the exterior wall! Outside that door is what probably could be best described as either a poor man's sauna (not my description), or a grow room (also not mine). It's a "feature" that almost put us off buying the house at all. Since then, I've made numerous phone calls to numerous handy men and contractors seeking an estimate of what it's going to take to restore sanity to our shower. But this is the South, and we do live in a real-estate boom town. The result? In four years, we've only had two guys even show up at all, and not a single estimate. I'd actually given up on finding someone interested in doing the work, and planned to just do my best and fix it myself. Then yesterday, I had so much luck getting people to call me back for guttering estimates ...
