It was suppose to be a quick job. All we were doing was tearing up a little bit of the floor because it was sagging. A few hours work, that's it. Boy were we wrong!!! The entire floor has to be ripped out and replaced. Whoever did this floor screwed it up in a major way. There are 3 layers of tile seperated by plywood. All the wood is rotten, molded, and falling apart, and even some of the joists are rotting. This is going to take all day and into the night. I'm going to HC to pick up D's brother K so that he can help get this mess done. There is nothing I can do to help, I just keep getting in the way. The good part is that we don't have to pay for all the supplies to do this. The landlord is paying for it. And they are paying D to do it. Our poor kittens are scard to death because of everything that is going on. I think we are going to have to lock them in the bathroom for a little while because they won't stay in the bedroom. They keep getting in the middle of everything. I'm worried they are going to get hurt. I'm very glad D is going to have some help with all of this. All of the cabinets, the stove, the refridgerator, and everything else including the snake cage, has to be taken out of apartment so that he can replace everything. I am also very glad that our apartment is only a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. It looks like the entire apartment floor is going to have to be redone. Only the kitchen is getting done today. The rest can wait till another weekend.
I have to say that no matter what else he may do, K has always been there for us when we need him. D called other people to see if they would come and help, and they all made excues why they can't. As soon as K heard we needed him he wanted to know when we are going to pick him up. He never bats an eye, he always helps when needed. He is the only one that does. We drop everything to help anyone that needs help, but they never help when we need it. There is always one excuse or another. It drives me crazy and makes me want to tell them to f off when they ask for help. But that is not who either one of us are. We are always ready, willing, and able whenever anyone needs anything and we always will be. I thank God for K for always be there for us when no one else is.
I also thank God for our neighbor E and his father Mr. E. They are more like family to us than most of our family is. They are always there for us. One of my tires has a big bubble in it so I can't drive right now. Mr. E is going to pick me up and take me to HC to pick up K. It's 2 hours round trip. I don't know anyone that would do that. I'm going to offer him some money for it, but I don't know if he will take it. That is the kind of man he is. His son is the same way, when he isn't getting high or off chasing nasty women. Normally he is really good about things, but today seems to not be one of those days. He said he would be able to help us about 11 but he still isn't here. Around 12 he said he would be 20 min. but still nothing. And now he isn't even answering our calls. The landlord is going on his way over to take D to the hardware store to get the supplies he needs. And without E to call his dad, we have no way to get in touch with him about going to HC. So now my ex J is going to have to bring him down. I hate asking him, but I am grateful that he is willing to do it. I guess it is a good thing he is trying to win me back.
The further we get into this mess the worse it is. Now we can't get in touch with anyone that is suppose to help us. This whole thing is turning into a nightmare. I wish we had never decided to do this. But it has to be done. If we don't get it done the whole floor is going to fall through. I pray that God is watching over us and that we can get this done today.
