I am a lazy blogger
Well, obviously I haven’t been keeping up with this blog. My bad. I am going to try to do much better. Things have been crazy around the house lately. The toilet has been fixed, but we’re still working on our other project, the shower, and we’re hitting every possible bump in the road. We went to order tile for the shower, and picked out the only tile that came close to matching our bathroom. The salesman tells us they don’t have enough of that tile, but they’re only a little bit short. I ask them if they will check other stores, and they agree. Then I get a call from them saying that they found my tile, and it will cost another $200, and they found it in Turkey! Turkey!!!! It would be just my luck that the only place I can find this tile is halfway across the world.
So my husband and I went to the tile store to pick out some different tile, because we didn’t want to spend $200 to get it from Turkey. Of course, I’m at the tile store nearly in tears over this whole project. Everything has gone wrong at every turn, and I haven’t had a shower in my bathroom for 5 months. After I had a near meltdown in the store, my husband finally said that we would just pay the $200, because we couldn’t find anything close to matching. The tile is currently on order, from Turkey!
At least we can tell our friends that we have high quality imported Turkish tile in our shower.
