I started this home re-do in June Bubba in his way stated, "the budget is X" I was going well until the decorator went insane and spent it all - and said the painters would cost only 1/8th of what it really is costing me to have these people here... she might want to check up on that a bit more often. And I won't mention the guy she recommended came back with the most expensive estimate...
Now we have the email estimate back for the Lladro hospital... $400 including shipping. I made the mistake of forwarding the email to Bubba... sorry co-workers he's going to be in a prissy snit for the rest of the day. Better you than me. They documented a whoops I didn't see on the statue so that was $80 for something unexpected. when this things returns to us you can bet your sweet bippy I WON'T be touching the darn thing. Frankly I'm beginning to think it cursed. Maybe its the dirty glass ghost - he's making Bubba nuts with this statue and me with the drinking glasses... they will write horror stories about the crazy couple in Germantown who killed each other with plastic drinking glasses and broken lladro's statues.
So with the repair, the painters and all the rest that budget line has gone whizzing by... did you hear the whoosh? I did -- it sounds like peanut butter and jelly long into the distant future. Hey we're still working and I could stand to live off the fat of the land for a good month. ;-)
On an up note... the paint job looks FABULOUS! At least the living room does I can't wait to get it all finished... and get the carpets cleaned - yikes the difference between white and dirty white... thanks girls.
