Disappointed in my new books
Scrapbooking books, and very nice ones, but....
I bought 2 of the 3 to help me get organized and inspired. Unfortunately, neither has economy in mind. They show these beautiful crafting rooms with modular cube shelving... and every cube costs about $30. They're just cubes. But they seem to be perfect for holding everything, and they have them stacked 3 and 4 high, and 5 across. *sigh* I can't afford that.
I could ask my dad-with-a-new-shop and my brother-the-carpenter/contractor to build me some cubes, but they only work on what they want to work on, when they want to work on it. The remodeling of my kitchen is so far on their back burner that it's in someone else's house.
I don't really believe that they're really going to fix up my kitchen for me. It just seems so unreal. After all, we waited literally 24 years for Dad to finish building his shop once that concrete was poured.
Who's to say that they aren't planning on tearing my kitchen apart and generally making my home uninhabitable for a couple of years, at the rate they work? Took them 2 months to get that support beam put into my living room. And that was with them knowing that I was in a panic over my rapidly sagging ceiling with the ever-widening crack. LOL (And me with a long-term respiratory infection because of all the crap floating through the air. I wouldn't be surprised if there was asbestos in all that, but that would have been beyond their control anyway, and they were exposed to it too. But I'm the only one that got sick.
Anyway, I made Dad promise me a while back that when (if LOL) they started on my kitchen, they wouldn't start tearing anything out until they already had the replacement cabinets built.
Build cabinets first. Destroy youngest child's only refuge second.
Maybe that will cut the months my kitchen / laundry room / puppy pen will be out of commission down to about 6. Tell you what. I'm gonna do my laundry at Dad's house until they put my kitchen back into use. :D Maybe that'll speed them up. hahahaha
But I know what's coming. Dad always wants to "wait until it's cooler" for stuff like rewiring the house (promised when I bought it 6 years ago, and never done). On this one, he's going to want to "wait until it's warmer" so that he can put off my kitchen until May or June.
