Due to a tree fall during a storm, we had major damage to our house, the kind of damage that takes months to repair. The area of the house that was damaged was only accessible through the master bedroom, so if workmen were coming early, we had to get up early to get ready for them, I cannot tell you what a pain this was. Not to mention they would frequently say they were going to be there at 7AM and not show up until 9AM.
One Saturday, work crews never came on weekends, we were skinny dipping in the pool, having margaritas, I hear a strange noise, look up on the roof to see 3 guys up there working on the chimney, my wife shrieked, rolled off her floating lounger and into the pool. The guys, none of whom spoke English, waved and went back to work.
There were several other similar incidents, but after a few months we got to the "I really don't give a damn" stage.
