k2daisy Roof replacement: COMPLETE
Christmas decorating: COMPLETE
Art Glass re-arranging: COMPLETE
Such a freaking relief.

Of course, there is always more to do. I contracted the roofers/general contractors to also replace the original cement utility sink in my basement with a new plastic tub, and they did that on the last day as the last task. But there was a lack of communication to the project manager and he only purchased a tub, not a new faucet. The existing faucet does not quite reach the new tub, and it leaks if used. It needs replacement ASAP. They credited me $350, but now I have to contact our regular plumber to install one. Tbh, I think I prefer using them anyway. First off, our plumbers know our house really well since they have been repairing it through multiple owners, and they know all the old houses in the neighborhood. Second, the roofer was really good and knowledgeable about the attic and the roof, but all the extra small projects they offered to do were only partially done. The attention to detail and skills sets are a little lacking on the interior work. I do intend to use them to replace the windows in the spring, but when it comes time for the bathroom I will likely use someone else. But we shall see.
And of course, now it's time for a full house cleaning.
And the Christmas shopping has to get done this week so it can get shipped out to Connecticut and Detroit.
And our last big sale of the year starts today at the store.
But that's all easier and more fun, and under my own control. It's not watching icicles drip from my freaking unfinished roof for weeks on end.
God, I am so relieved it's done. It's really so lovely sitting with my husband and dogs on the couch at night enjoying the twinkling tree.
