So, you all know my DH is a realtor right? And he does mainly foreclosures. In his line of work he has to order repairs on houses All. The. Time.
So, naturally when we wanted some stuff painted and fixed in our new house he called up the contractors he uses all the time. Dh actually got quotes for so many things that we wanted done just to get an idea of what it would cost. We only contracted them to paint the kids rooms and replace one door though. We can't afford the rest at this time.
So. We showed up today to unload some boxes and as we pulled up we saw this. We thought it strange that there was 4 work trucks for just a small paint and repair job. Huh.
So we go inside and see that there is AN ENTIRE TEAM of people working on our house. They are re-painting EVERYTHING, including the trim outside. Thy are HANGING EXTRA KITCHEN CABINETS in a dead space in our kitchen (a dream of mine since the minute we saw that kitchen). Thy are replacing damaged molding. They are replacing cracked tiles.
So naturally we freak out and say, we got bids on this stuff but we didn't actually order it, so what's happening?!?!
You wanna know their answer? Thanks to DH for using them all the time - this one is on them.
I started crying. Holy shit. I'm the luckiest person ever.
