An update. Un-date, really.
I had to cancel the purchase, ergo the whole renovation. The bathtub had been delayed three times already, and today’s fourth delay would put it here after my contractor/plumber was scheduled.
Nevermind the fact that this was all arranged so it would be done while I was out of town; because there wouldn’t be a bathtub or shower here for three or four days.
Honestly, I’m glad to be rid of thinking about it. The sheer hours of work, websites, phone calls about screwed-up delivery has been exhausting.
I’ll spare you my further thoughts about large corporations destroying the service economy through greed.
ETA – And now, the giant awful infection at the surgical site is back. And my surgeon is on vacation. And I’m supposed to be on a plane a week from today,

Sorry. This kind of crap is apparently the same all over.
Yeah, folks, I have been talking to about it here and there have described a few similar stories. Even the UPS man that came to pick up some of the Plumbing junk I don’t need anymore.
i have a complete and utter dislike for Home Depot and the politics of the corporation. i boycotted HD ages ago, during 45’s (now 47) term. they are a big hole, and they do not care about customers, because they do not need little old us to stay afloat. post a pic of the bathtub you’re looking at now! i sure hope you find one you like and that it comes in! mmph! also, still praying for you. infections are lousy. … and how is the kitchen and the new ceiling coming along? i know you’ve been abed, just thought i would ask about your sweet little house. Love You So Much! ❤ 😀
