Paint and Body My car is finally home

Well here it is, another month or so and still no car. I called the shop last Wednesday to ask of my car was done or when I can expect it to be done. They lost my door lock cylinders and drip rail mouldings. They also had to repaint the front bumper cover because the trim color didn't match. They said the car is close to being done, but I heard that way back in March after they had it for 3 weeks. I'm skeptical.

I haven't seen the car since I went down there to meet the appraiser Hagerty hired to go over the car again so no current pictures. I was also informed that they have moved to a new location which happens to be in the worst part of that city.

On a better note...the house exterior is complete, I now have full electricity in the house, the tile floors are done as well as the tile shower surround, and my cabinets are installed. I spent today at the house installing a new mailbox post, installing cabinet handles, light bulbs, and putting the cable TV coax cover plates on the walls. We routed the coax inside the walls and they terminate into electrical boxes with F type cover plates.

The baseboard and window trim, interior doors, and closet doors all get installed this week, followed by HVAC furnace and AC system, then refinish the original oak floors (1955), countertops, backsplashes, and final details such as appliances, touch up, etc. are all that's left. Hoping to be moved in by the first week of November.

Today is my 40th birthday, and my wife bought me a new toolbox for work. She's the best.

If you don't have anything positive to contribute then shut the up. I really don't give a if I get banned or reprimanded over this post. I've probably said it several times already. I thought I did my homework with this shop, and I got burned. Lesson ing learned, so why don't you go off with your negativity.

As far as my house goes, you don't even remotely have any clue what I am responsible for or what my finances concerning the repairs are like so eat a dick. It's been a long hard road, I'm somehow still married to a loving wife, and I can now see light at the end of this terrible year.

All I ever read in other threads from you is how superior you are intellectually above everyone else and how your car is different so you are somehow special. Maybe instead of posting in everyone else's content, just shut up and let it go.

I'll also add this, my house ing burned you retard. It isn't just a remodel, it's a rebuild. So while I'm getting repairs done, my wife and I decided to do some upgrades that were badly needed, along with bringing the house up to code because that is now equired. The car was also damaged but I guess you also missed that part. As smart as you think you are your reading comprehension needs lots of work.
