Carmen en la Casa

So here is some stuff to look at from the house..... (phone pics, not too bad ... not too great.)

His majesty's porcelain throne ....



One of my bigger projects ... (the color is still off, but I'm getting close.)


And the long awaited handle ... Apparently, when you select a giant door you must purchase a special handle.  The kind of handle that only specialty hardware shops order and charge a small fortune for.  Much searching and impatient waiting paid off with a great looking handle at a great price ....


Funny side note about the handle .... the store manager that sold me the handle made the mistake of telling me it would arrive in 9 - 10 days.

For the next 5 weeks, I called him every Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. to ask him if my handle had made it in.

This week, I gave up.  He assured me many times he would call me when it came in.  At 10:38 on Tuesday, he called me to say it would be in Friday.

He was almost as excited as I was!  "So, should I call you on Friday?" I asked.

"NO, No ... no ... you don't have to call me.  Someone will call you.  Your purchase order is up on the wall where everyone can see it, with a BIG note on it that says to "CALL CARMEN!" as soon as the handle comes in," he said.

"So you're saying not to call, then?"

You're too funny! You have to stay on those people because they will forget about you sometimes! :)
