Bump in the road.

We went to Lowe's to pick up all our stuff to complete the bathroom, part of which we had to special order. Tile, backerboard, thinset, grout, toilet, sinks. Haven't picked out the faucets or towel racks yet, but that's everything.

Except one detail you might notice is missing from the big pile here in the attached garage:



Um, yeah. That'd be the bathtub. The one that came in this week and we picked up, put on the truck and drove here to the house this afternoon.

"Let's check it out before we go back," I tell Jeff, just in case. We tear back the cardboard carton to make sure everything's okey-dokey -- and it's not. Somewhere along the way the back left corner of the tub has been snapped, probably by someone putting something heavy on top of that edge of the box.

So we lug it back to Lowe's, get a refund, and have to order a new one. Which now costs 5% more than when we got this one less than two weeks ago. Sparing you the details, but it wasn't an easy fix to get the price adjusted.

Grrrrr.
