Today is my first day back at the office post-flood and post-perm. Both are on my mind: will my basement take in water when it rains today? Are people looking at my hair? I can’t stop thinking about them.
Hairwise, I had to shampoo twice to try to get rid of the chemical smell of the perm, but it didn’t take. My hair still stinks of perm! I guess it will take a couple of days. At least it doesn’t feel like rope anymore. I couldn’t wet my hair for 3 days, so my hair ended up looking more like Bob Marley’s dread locks, as opposed to Shirley Temple’s playful curls Now, it’s more like Carrie Bradshaw’s big hair. It’ll definitely take some getting used to!
As for the flood, after the contractors removed the wood panel walls from the basement, two huge cracks came to light. I’m going to have to call the Basement Technologies people today to add that to the contract. Two of those cracks are on the front wall, which means we will have to put the drain pipe in that wall, which we were not planning on doing. This means more $$$.
For some reason I’m not too upset about this. Not even the money. It’s just money. It keeps getting replenished every 2 weeks. I’m actually more excited about remodeling downstairs. It’s something we weren’t planning to do for a while, but mother nature has given us a golden opportunity to do this before we have kids.
May your basements stay dry, and your curls in order.
