Leaky Roof -- Part II

| 16 Comments | No TrackBacks
I guess I spoke too soon when I was raving about how easy and smoothly everything went in terms of getting the leaky roof fixed.

They called me back immediately!

It was fixed that afternoon!

It was a totally reasonable price!

I am, again, working from home this afternoon.  As I was putting my jacket and boots on to leave this morning I heard the all too familiar sound... drip... drip...

So I took off my jacket, and got out the business card he left me, and dialed the number.  It was about 8:40 or so at this point.  The lady on the other end seemed very pleasant and the sound in her voice made me believe she was going to get the issue resolved as soon as possible. 

I emailed my boss, telling him I would be working form home this morning. (aside: the boss replied with a simple "ok".  hard to tell if he is annoyed or not.  hopefully not.  not my fault!)  11:30 rolled around.  No phone call.  I got a little worried but was wondering if I was just being impatient.  I asked The Boy if I should call again, and if I should call the company phone again or his cell phone number, which was also on the business card.  He said to call again.  I got sucked into some work stuff and then suddenly it was after noon and I still hadn't called.   I figured I'd give them a little more time and wait until after lunch.

I just called again at 2:00 (the company number) and the guy said the guy who first came out last time was "in a meeting" but should be out shortly.  He said he would contact him again and have James come back out.  I asked when and he said hopefully sometime this afternoon.

In other bright house news, I think I also need a new oven!  We cooked a pizza in it the other night and it totally burn the crap out of it.  I put it on the correct temperature.  I set the time for 20 minutes (the box said 27-32).  After 17.5 minutes The Boy jumps up and says, "That doesn't smell good."  We go into the kitchen to find it rapidly filling with smoke.  WTH? 

The oven is very old and it came with the house.  I am thankful I've been able to get along with it for this long and didn't have to include a new oven with the down-payment and other appliance and furniture costs.  I think now, though, I may need to invest in a new one.  Also, need to buy another smoke detector.

Anyway, so to sum up my end of the week:
Wednesday: Roofer
Thursday: Chimney Sweep
Friday: Plumber

Sigh.
