The plumbing problem is solved, according to my trusty observer and fellow condo owner Earl. He was eager to report that this morning found him at the condo in the company of the plumber, the electrician, the flooring guy, and the painter all working to close next Monday, November 2.
The plumber had found the leak and stopped it. The electrician was adding final touches in the way of sconces and the light over the shower. The flooring guy was laying the hardwood in the kitchen and grouting the entry and bathroom. And the painter was making sure he had all the appropriate walls covered.
“It looks good,” Earl said in our regular morning telephone meeting. “I think we’re going to close on time.” I smiled. The truth is, in my world things usually happen on time, partly because I’m a micro-manager and partly because I try to charm people into compliance. I’m not bragging about either characteristic, especially since I haven’t been there this week to ‘supervise.’ Instead, Earl has been the point man. It just shows that we make a great team.
