The last couple of weeks have been insane.
We were gearing up for another week of the divorce trial when the attorney ended up having to go ahead and ask the judge to recuse, so we go back to court in April with a new and hopefully more impartial judge. We were also trying to get our office ready so we could move into it and be open for business by Tuesday [yesterday] at the latest. Well, that didn't go exactly as planned...
Some dipshit at Lowe's told us we needed to use oil based paint to paint the concrete floor. What they failed to tell us is that if the concrete is cold it won't dry. So there were were with a very wet floor for at least a few days. Then it rained and the moisture just made it stay wet longer. We finally were happy with the dryness and bought some area rugs - we went to the carpet outlet in Stillwater because they had better prices than anything here, and then when we got home with them we noticed the paint was peeling off the floor. So today I went back to Stillwater and traded the rugs toward some carpet, we're just going to carpet it and be done with it. Last night Jennifer and I laid linoleum in the back room - that was one for the blooper reel. I had to roll on it to get the bubbles out and at one point Jennifer's pants literally fell down. But the floor looks good today, so all's well that ends well. ONG sucks ass by the way. They have been yanking us around on getting the gas tuned on. "We'll be there sometime after 8 a.m." Really? Thanks, that's great. You're very helpful.
We did a lot of shopping for the office so at least it wasn't all wasted time. Tomorrow we will put the carpet down and move in the furniture and we may actually be an operating law firm by Friday. Woo hoo!
