My dear friends, I hope everything is going very well in your lives so that you can enjoy this 'make your home look great' Monday, even when things don't turn out perfectly 😊. It turns out that managing the household is not an easy task. It's not just about keeping it organized, but also about trying to improve the spaces so they look harmonious and functional. In my vision board for this year, and by the way, there are only a few months left until it ends, I noted some things that I considered urgent. But as always, things keep coming up, so that list has been growing, and as with everything, some things are not planned, but rather, 'as they come up, we see'.

In December, after all the mess left by the builder, I wasn’t planning to fix the bathrooms because, there were other priorities; however, my mother underwent surgery and we needed her bathroom to be functional for her care and use. Likewise, my bathroom didn’t have a countertop, so we got a good estimate and went ahead with it. I shared two photographs with the gentleman, which matched what I wanted.

El mesón de mi madre

My mother's inn

El mío, por ser de otra forma, iba metido en concreto y que quedara la mesa para poner mis cremas y artículos

Mine was different, but it fit within that framework instead of stone, made of concrete.

Like any bricklayer, who sometimes wishes to have self-esteem, he said, 'OF COURSE! That will turn out EXACTLY the same.' Right then, we started off on the wrong foot, because someone who praises themselves so much ends up showing what they lack. Since I needed it done quickly due to a medical urgency, I asked if they could complete it in one day, and he said yes, that it was just assembling and installing. It's worth noting that I had already paid for the countertop and they were about three weeks behind, due to countless reasons that came up. Things weren't looking too good.

With that scenario, the day he arrived at my home, as always, problems started: that he hadn't detailed the photo well, that a piece was stolen from him, that it couldn't be done because the sink was oval, and countless other things that annoyed me again. What we did agree on is that the previous countertop was indeed poorly made, in size and everything, but it was the easiest to cut and assemble.

Around 6 in the evening, he tells me if he could come tomorrow instead because "he had to take care of some details." To me, it seemed that he didn't know what he was doing, was just getting by, and had done a few things wrong, which when I confronted him, he would say "I'll fix it tomorrow," and I said: "NO, IT'S TODAY." In the end, the man finished around 8:00 p.m., and this was the result. Judge for yourselves and tell me if I have a right to be upset or not:
