The shower saga continues. The plumber did show up last night more than an hour after he said he'd be here. He did some stuff--sawing a hole in the floor and attaching a part of the drain pipe to the shower tray, which is still upstairs on its side because that's where things ended about an hour after he arrived. He was supposed to be back here tonight. It's about 7:30 and there's no sign of him. PVC Guy didn't accompany Plumber Guy because PVC Guy is a farmer who was taking advantage of hot sunny weather to do the silage. Perhaps Saturday, he said. The forecast for Saturday is rain so we live in hope. We thought that the PVC wall covering would go up first and then the shower would be done, but now we're told that the shower will go in first. At this point either way feels a bit like wishful thinking. There is a comedic element to this entire situation. Anyway, perhaps he'll show up tonight and perhaps he won't. At this point, nothing about this situation will surprise me. Oh, I guess that's not really true. If suddenly both Plumber Guy and PVC Guy showed up and got the job done, that would be a surprise!

Thank you for sharing the continued plumber saga.
If suddenly both Plumber Guy and PVC Guy showed up and got the job done, that would be a WONDERFUL surprise!
Hope all gets sorted soon, my good wishes.
All the best Jan
Thanks, Jan!
Plumber Guy and PVC Guy arriving together with a firm plan to get the job done seems entirely too much to ask for, Shari. I suspect you will be able to shower by Christmas, so just be patient! Think how sweet you will smell, though!
Our friend's shower repair will require a hole in the wall. At this point we're just waiting to see which gets done first then we'll all be standing in line for that one 😏
I hope this work they do on the side is not how they would be for the actual business. But hurrah for a little step forward...hope they came back last night. :)
Not sure if this is an official business or not. The plumber they usually use is reliable but doesn't do the PVC work and she's been unable to find anyone who will come to do it. No one showed up last night. From what people tell me, this kind of experience is not unusual.
It's a saga, isn't it? All will be well. Eventually -- but don't you wish "eventually" was now?!
I sure do, Jeanie 🙂
