It’s hardly ever what you plan, though. I let the Handyman know I was talking about the Kitchen remodel, but in the meantime he has found his hands full with the breaker to his office switching off every few minutes. He has been troubleshooting and conferencing with a buddy who is an Electrician. Right now they think it is a breaker gone bad. Who knew that breakers could break down when you most need them? The Handyman has been remarkably calm given the fact that it kept switching off the electricity while he was doing invoicing. Come to think of it…I’m remarkably calm; I’ll try not to think of that too much. <\/p>\n
Anyway, I don’t think he is going to post until this thing is straightened out. Actually, until his computer is able to get up and running, he can’t<\/span> post, not liking or being familiar with mine. Never fear though…. I do enough talking for the both of us and I’ll just chug along with telling my version of the Kitchen.<\/p>\n It’s always something, isn’t it?
