First, the "handyman" (if only he were really handy) came to deal with our leaking (more like gushing) windows. We've had three days of massive thunderstorms with torrential rains and I noticed substantial puddles in three rooms of the house. Thank goodness Mom already left, otherwise she would've been washed off her bed!
This house is only two years old, so I really can't explain why the windows are leaking from the frames........
After the handyman, I had the washing machine "repairman." I swear, this guy has been here more times to NOT fix something than I could shake a stick at. I told the embassy I did not want the same guy to come because on 4 or 5 visits he has yet to ONCE successfully repair the machine! But, guess who came, the same guy. UG!!!
Then, the electrician came at a moment's notice because every time it rains, the circuitbreaker flips the power out in the basement. Delightful! He did a bit of caulking on the patio lights, but couldn't be sure what was causing the problem, so who knows.....
And, I noticed some sort of mystery button outside on the patio with a hole for a key in the middle. I have NO idea what it might be for. Anyone want to send their guesses?
And THEN, the carpenter came to look at our dining room chairs,
as 9 out of 12 are in a state of imminent collapse. The estimate
for repair: almost $2,000!!!!
But, we can't keep the chairs as is, so the carpenter took
them for repair.
