We are having our own merry-go-round adventure with AT&T. They have dug a grave in our front yard and didn't put anyone in it. If they don't get it filled and some internet in our house soon, I will fill it with the next tech who tells me "you have high-speed internet here"!

I love that tin, I hope you can stop the paint from chipping off, I'd be interested to know your technique too.<br /><br />I hate it when you get a tech in India... not only is there sometimes a language barrier but sometimes they just don't understand what we need! I'm glad the AT&T dude was capable!

Are you close enough to the coast where it will affect you? When I lived in Virgina as a kid we went through a few hurricanes (we lived in Chesapeake/Virgina Beach). They were never really bad. My brother is a lineman and will be working the storm clean up! I hope it is over before my wedding so that he makes it back home in time (15 days)!!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07465862144480036138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493088197667524112.post-75263780507924174662015-10-02T08:59:55.098-04:002015-10-02T08:59:55.098-04:00All your finds are awesome but the little tin is f...All your finds are awesome but the little tin is fabulous.

If my hubby hears an accent from India, he hangs up. Which is probably for the best because he can't understand them anyway. But it is aggravating. How could they possibly know what our homes have here ? I wonder what they really think of us if they think we all live in cookie cutter houses. I hope your weather clears.

Oh my, Donna, she's definitely a 1920s era gal, probably smushing her ta tas so she would have that androgynous look so popular at the time.<br />We are dealing with a variation of your issue right now, only with TV cable for our upstairs. Long story short - the cable guys 'lost' our cable in the wall, tried to charge us for a repairman who couldn't retrieve it for a 90° turn in said wall, only to later have 3 men, 3 hrs, attempt to fish another line through various walls, sounding like rats at a buffet line, eventually wanting to tear up floor boards in the attic. That's when they were asked to leave. Still no TV upstairs, which doesn't bother me at all.<br />Stay safe with all this rain & potential danger lurking.<br />RitaRita C at Panoplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351306074493103021noreply@blogger.com
