The plumbers fixed most of what they broke, but the carpet they tore up needs to be relaid by a pro, and the cut-into drywall has to be repaired.
I could do the drywall (I did all the repairs on our earthquake-damaged California house before we sold it), but Hubby insists that we hire someone who has more [cough] recent experience.
So I wait. Only one more week. [drums fingers...]

LOL! One of the ladies in my prayer group went three weeks without heat during December.

Good luck with the builder TOL.
Often look at the plumbing in this place, one leak of any significance would wipe the whole house out.

And I was feeling sorry for me because my toilet float doesn’t shut off the water flow. It’s so bad, I have to leave the lid off the tank so I can lift the float.
If it were my very own, I would have gone to Walmart and gotten the parts I needed and fixed it myself.
I hope this week finds things back to “normal” in your home. (Great kitteh pic!)
