I want to scream
My mom always told me to keep written records of things - especially when dealing with landlords, lawyers or ex-husbands. So here's my record of the crap I've had to deal with and put up with during my whole problem with my bathroom, beginning with the day the plumbers came to fix the leak:
Island Plumbers arrive and stay about 20 minutes. They shut off the water for a bit and worked on the cold water faucet and fixed the running water.
Before they arrived I was wiping down the walls in the tub when I put my hand against the wall to balance myself as I worked. I barely pushed against the wall when several more tiles caved in and one fell off.
Plumbers did not stay very long. 20 minutes at the most. There were 3 of them. One returned a little while later and replaced the plug switch and told me that he spoke with Lois who told him the handyman who was here on the evening of the 17th to try and stop the water flow will be coming back to retile the bathtub. When he's meant to do that, I don't know.
Handyman came by in the afternoon to look at the tub. Stated that he will return Thursday morning at 9am to begin retiling bathtub. Never showed up. Called landlord Friday (10/21) morning around 10am when there was still no sign of him and Gail gave me his phone number to speak to him directly. Sounded as if she did not want to be bothered with it. So I called him. He said 1pm he'd be out there. As I write this it is 2pm and there is STILL no sign of the git.
Called git at 2pm (Friday, 10/21) and he stated that he's trying to get over to us but was fixing a leak (funny, he couldn't fix our leak. Hmmm.) I told him that I needed to know whether to tell my boss I would be on PTO Monday waiting for him or not. He said he didn't want me to take time off work and could come in the evening. I said he didn't have to do that. We compromised and he has now said he will be at our place at 9am on Saturday (10/22.)
We shall see.
9:30ish am Saturday - Git shows up and removes tile, and puts up drywall. Says he will return around 5pm to place the tile. Did he show? Nope. So now we are without a tub probably for the next 2 days.
10am Sunday - I call the git. He claims to have lost my number (though his cell phone is a Virgin one like mine and I've called him 3 times on it so I should be in his call list, but whatever) and asks for it again and then says he will show up here around 12:30 today. I'm not holding my breath.
He showed up a little after 2 and stayed til 5ish with about a 45 minute fecking smoke break. He left, telling my daughter to sweep the bathroom floor and he'll call me when he comes back. The bloody wall is only half done and it's 7pm. I doubt he's coming back. This is so freaking ridiculous.
Here's a pic of how he left it (after I cleaned up):
I hate this place :(

that's deffinatly not how it's suppose to be done
should have only taken him.. 30 mins for the drywall, and maybe 2-4 hours wor the tile. n/m that the color doesn't even match the previous color,t he whole thing should have been redone.
remind me never to live where you live.
or just remind me to buy a home so I can do the work myself :(
Luckily I get to move soon from this hellhole.
Anyway he was supposed to come today (Monday) at 1. It was 2:30 when he showed up. He's got a "helper" and they just had a smoke break and I peeked in and he's only got about 1/4 more of it done.
*sigh*
