Had my house painted this last week. When they finished the colour (and before the trim work) I looked it over & found some areas they missed, so I contacted the boss-guy. He stopped over the next week on the day that they'd scheduled to complete it & I showed *and* explained to him the issues. He said no problem and marked the areas for the painter to correct. The painter finished up today & when I checked around the house again, I found that, while he did fix a few of the areas, he's still missed quite a bit - mostly from about 3ft high & down, he didn't paint all of the underside edge of the siding. It's still chalky in many spots and will streak after being in the rain a bit, ruining the new paint.
I felt bad, but I had to call the boss-guy & fill him in. He asked if I could mark all the spots for him with tape, he'd have the painter come back. I offered that, since I was finding them anyway (and because that would end up being a *lot* of tape), that maybe I could just paint them myself if he'd knock the price down a bit. I explained all the areas still needed attention & he agreed to drop his price $200 for considering it completed (& taking on the responsibility of completing it). I think, all-in-all, this turned out to be a fairly good deal, even if I have to do some of it on my own. There are two partial gallons of leftover paint in my garage (one grey, one white) and I'm just going to use that.
I would have preferred to just have had it done right the 1st time, but such is life, I guess. Oh, and it was definitely a sinus infection. I seem to be close to getting over it though, and might try to get a workout in tonight. Might wait until tomorrow though, depending on how I feel in the next hour.
Oh, and my spark plug boot kit is *still* not in, and they don't even show it as having been ordered!? They're starting to piss me off a bit, but I'm trying to be patient. I ordered & paid for this kit (the 1st time) on 6/11, and they re-ordered it last week Thursday. Wtf? Grr.
OH! And the two sort-of-crushes I've had recently are done. Meh.I need (ok, want) a damn girlfriend already!
