What would it look like in a few weeks? Margie hoped her client was happy with the design she had created for the bathroom remodel.
The finest Italian Marble in a subdued pattern would be used throughout the room.
Top of the line fixtures, double sink, double commodes, one with a bidet.
Of course that window would have to go. Everything was ordered and on its way-nonrefundable.
Margie hoped she could handle the finances until a payment was made.
She answered the phone absentmindedly.
“Margie? I’ve changed my mind on the remodel. Can we talk?”

Dear Ruth,
The call no contractor wants to receive, especially after laying out all the cash. Nicely crafted story.
Shalom,

Dear Life in the 50’s and beyond. Great job! But I hope they haven’t already paid for the fixtures and materials – as it might be hard to get their money back!

Ahh! I know that frustration, although not to that degree. That’s when you reach through the phone and throttle them with their own indecisiveness.
