For Sale - 3 bedroom house, nice neighborhood, beautiful gardens in the spring. Wonderful house to raise children in, however, there’s no bathroom.

We are entering into week three of having no shower and have had a total of 5 showers between the three of us. We are still taking Marine showers daily and this weekend we snuck into our friend’s showers when they were busy entertaining.

Today Margot and me actually get the bathtub inside the framed walls. Boy was this a much harder thing than we thought it would be. The whole idea was that it need to be a tight fit, so Margot put up plywood on the back wall in order to make the fit tight. Which meant that it was nearly impossible to get the tub into the small space. There were of course many prime curse words used and after 2 hours of arguing about the best way to get the tub into the small space — it somehow mystically happened. We gave high 5’s and apologized to each other.

Now onto the tub surround — quite a different story. Margot went outside to get the tub surround to bring it inside. Then she came back in and said “it’s cracked.” So minutes later I was on the phone with Lowe’s and 2 hours later they had delivered a new tub surround.
Of course after the morning frustration we decided that we needed some respite away from the tub scene so we left the house and decided to go SHOPPING and eat Indian food at The Commons!!

We arrived back home at 4:30pm and realized …. another week has gone by and we still don’t have a tub. Maybe next week! But don’t be surprised if you see a “FOR SALE” sign in the front yard that says “AS IS”.
