Matt came in, as promised, early this morning with the materials to complete the curb. By 10:30 a.m., the curb was finished and he was off to his next job. Mike, apparently, is really upset with us which is why he is reluctant to send Matt in to finish the job. We have yet to figure out how Mike's contracted worker Andy messing up our tile job is OUR fault. Sadly, if he had taken care of the re-work 15 weeks ago, none of this would have happened.
At any rate, as Matt was leaving, Rick called the plumbing company who said that they would send Plumber Rick over before noon. Within half an hour, he was at our door.

| Rick loosely fits the pan into the shower enclosure. |
 |
| He adds materials on top of the curb in the corner and then folds the corners in to provide a water-tight corner. |
His job was to install the pan in the shower. He brought in the materials, added the pan, and then filled it with water. If it does not leak in the next 24 hours, Matt can return tomorrow to start mudding the floor.
 |
| Next, he cuts out the membrane around the drain. |
 |
| I told Plumber Rick to smile, so he obliged. |
 |
| The completed pan is filled with water for 24 hours to check for leaks. |
Rick left a message for Matt asking that he come tomorrow morning. Matt said today that he hopes to get our shower completed by the end of the week. If he can do that, we can have the doors remeasured on Friday for possible installation by Monday before Stephanie arrives on Tuesday. Maybe our problem is that we look ahead and can see on a calendar how everything should fall into place. Expectations and reality, however, rarely coincide.
