Notes - master bath estimate / suppertime

         0948 hours. Amorella, I don’t like saying anything about my humanity or spirit. I don’t even like saying anything about myself. This began as an experiment into my inner self via hypnotic trance via subliminal finger nerves (string and washer). That was a long time ago. I have all this stuff and it is okay as a personal hobby, but by giving others access I am saying, “Yea, me!” It is embarrassing and completely unlike my inner self. I am mostly a loner (a few friends and family) at heart. (0953)

         Late afternoon. You had a busy day. After meeting with Chris C. from Columbia Kitchen and Bath you decided now isn’t the time to refurbish without taking the time to think it out first. The fellow came up with an estimate of about sixteen thousand for the bathroom. Carol’s sister said that sounded reasonable considering she just had her kitchen and bathroom redone in the last six month. He was willing to take it down to thirteen something if you signed today. That was a turn-off so you did some more research about the business, then drove down to the store off Redbank Road in Cincinnati and declined in person saying that you needed more time to think it out. He asked ‘how long?’ and you said, ‘maybe another year or so’. You stopped at Graeter’s, Kroger’s on Mason-Montgomery and the bank on the way home. – Amorella

         1654 hours. Chris estimated the floor at 156 square feet; 100 sq. ft. for the shower w/bench; new wall tile; 15 sq. ft. for the tub with jets; new fan; 2 new ceiling lights; a cabinet; a fan; overhead mirror light; 2 outlets replace plus add an outlet; all new fixtures, plus tear out and replace regular tub in the other bathroom. This comes to about $16,000 with 15 percent off if we signed today. Why didn’t he just say about $13,000 to begin with and let it go at that? He didn’t really pressure us to sign; he just said we’d get fifteen percent off rather than ten percent. Chris is a decent fellow and gave us some good ideas to use; for one, he suggests we take our large bathroom mirror have it trimmed down slight and frame it with the medium stained Oak trim on the wall board, door frames and doors (throughout the house). Business is business – we have had a lifetime to deal with it. (1716)

         Such is your day so far. Post. – Amorella

         1717 hours. I’m not complaining. We’ll take our time and get a couple more estimates and see what comes up. I don’t mind people making a profit, but let’s keep it reasonable.

         You had excellent left over chili for supper, plus an apple with a healthy application of peanut butter on each of the four cut sections. While eating you watched NBC News after watching the season première episode of “Blacklist”. – Amorella

         1957 hours. I love the writing, the script, of “Blacklist” as much as the rest of the show.
