I laughed and told him he should have asked before going in, and he laughed with me.
When my husband and I lost our home in a fire, we wanted to rebuild on the same site. The insurance company offered us an apartment, but we had a small camper we could stay in for the six months it would take to rebuild. The only thing we didn’t have in the camper was a shower. We wanted a portable shower container so we could shower and still stay in the camper. The insurance company helped us to secure a portable shower container that had an onboard restroom. They paid the rental fee for the entire time we lived in the camper. Our construction manager wasn’t happy with us living so close to the house. They thought I was being a nuisance when I started asking questions. When they didn’t do something I agreed with, I would call the insurance company and complain. What they didn’t understand was that it was my house, and I was the construction manager, even if I didn’t own the construction company. I had to laugh when one guy who was working on the house ran into the portable shower container to take a quick shower. He had taken a shower of plaster and had to wash off before getting in his truck. I laughed and told him he should have asked before going in, and he laughed with me. That was what the owner of the construction company told me when I walked in the house just two days earlier. He told me Touché’, and then he asked if I wanted to go to town with him. He was going to pick up some things for the bathroom, and I could pick out the ceiling fan and light kits I wanted.
