Title: Oh, No

Blog Entry: So, it's a good thing that I was up and about around 9 a.m. I have been just taking my time in the morning because of the heat and humidity. But there was a slim chance that the guy was coming to start doing my new porch railings. The way things go around here I have become somewhat of a skeptic and only half believe what I'm told by the trade folks. Anyway, the guy (Chris) came around 9:30...which seemed like an odd time to start a job. Nonetheless...please start no matter what time it was. He is a very nice young man whose last name is Jones (How nice could that be? Being it's my last name too) He set up his stuff and we managed a little conversation before he started and I found out he had lived on the street (court) next to mine a few years back ...but I never knew him. He got the first section going and set up the 4 posts that were part of the system. Around 4 he picked up the old railings that he had detached and put away his tools for the day. Said he should be back today...Friday. It looked so good and I know it will add to the house a lot of charm. However, I got a call from his boss saying that Chris wouldn't be back until Monday as 2 sections that were needed to be used next were not in yet. OK, I was fine with that. Sooo, this morning I was having my coffee on the porch and was admiring the one section that was up when I saw a dark round spot about 1/4 inch. Thinking it was dirt I tried wiping it off only to find out it was a hole. . And the hole goes all the way through but not out the back. I just don't get it. He must have seen it. Now I have to stew all week-end. . I sure hope he finds some way to disguise it. Just once I would like things to run smoothly. Once again I'm getting out the violin...I seem to be playing that sad song a lot lately.. . I think I'll go have lunch and do something constructive.....like watch a movie....LOL. Later, Luv, Alice
