Not exactly the best week ever!!

This week we had to get our house replumbed. The company that did our house (and many, many other houses in the area including my brother and moms) completely messed it up so all the houses have to be redone. I didn't think it was going to be fun but I didn't think it would be THIS bad!! I had been over to my mom's house when she got it done and they only did a section of her house at a time so she could at least be somewhere but our guys tore my WHOLE house up at once. It was a crazy mess and there really wasn't anywhere that we could be. I tried to play with the kids in the toy room but that got messed up when the plumber came in yelling at me to watch my kids!! I had gone to the kitchen for just a minute to get Aiden some milk when I guess he started drilling and it started to go through the wall right where Jordyn was sitting!! He had told me where we had to clear out and this was not one of the places!! He wasn't supposed to go all the way through the wall and since he messed up, we had to clear out of the toy room even!! And I got yelled at. I was so mad. I pretty much had to set up the toy house in front of the door way and I played with my kids leaning on the front door!! Yeah, that wasn't going to work for a few days and since they completely shut off the water to the house all day Tuesday, we pretty much lived at my Mom's house. We were so thankful that we had somewhere to go. We were there from 9 that morning until 7 that night. Crazy!! And we did it again today! Thanks Mom and thanks Mom in law for Monday afternoon. Anyway, here is some of the mess that was our house!!

 The pipe leading from our tub. They found out that it was leaking so we had to hurry and call the builder to come and fix that before they plugged the hole.
 They had to be in the baby's room!!!
 Our bathroom sinks!!


Today was also stressful because they made me wait for the inspector and told me to make sure I opened the door as soon as they rang the doorbell because they won't wait. I just happened to see him drive by and park so I let the dogs out. I came back and he was just sitting there for a minute. I waited for him to knock but after a minute, I looked out again and he was gone!! I called the plumber and he started yelling at me because I wasn't out waiting all day for the guy!! All I was told was that I needed to be home but the inspector didn't even come to the door because he didn't see their truck because they were supposed to be there!!!! It wasn't my responsibility!! So I yelled back!! He didn't believe me that the inspector didn't come to the door because he wasn't there and I said yeah, you were supposed to be here!!! I was so mad that I called the company to make sure that inspector came back. I didn't want to have this mess in my house any longer than necessary!! Too make a long story longer, not even 20 minutes later, the plumber called and said he was on his way over to my house and the inspector should be there right after. And our builder showed up early to fix the tub so all ended up turning out wonderfully!! I just had to have a very stressful morning before that. They ended up finishing today.....not until 8 tonight but they are done and out of my house!!! I'm so glad to be done!!!
