Patience Painting & Wallpaper

Nov 2021

I had an abundance of patience when I first called Dave. He came to the house and we had a contract to remove the wallpaper and paint two rooms. Monday he arrived at 11am. He said he would come at 8am. he removed the paper from 1 1/2 walls and left after 3 hours, For the next 4 days I was bombarded with a myriad of excuses- he wanted to go to a meeting to learn how to heal people with prayer; he had to help his son get an ownership title to his motorcycle; he had to remove potential lead poisoning from a site; he went to a men's breakfast at his church; he had to get wood. He arrived on Saturday at 11:30 and worked until 5:30. A lot was done. Unfortunately he removed the wallpaper from the ceiling after I requested that he not. This potentially caused a problem for me because I would have to deal with mudding and sanding. The house would have to be professionally cleaned to rid it of the dust. I was still patient. Monday morning he called and told me that he had Covid and couldn't come for a week. I was shocked that he didn't have a vaccination. He gave me a slew of excuses as to why he doesn't need it. I asked if one of his sons could finish the job. He said they weren't vaccinated either. (later recanted). He called me, told me he was over Covid, and now had more antibodies than a vaccinated person. told him to come and collect his equipment. (I had already paid him $200.00). When he came to collect his tools he said that although the Covid vaccine does not work, he now had more antibodies than it supplied. I questioned why he felt that endangering the health of 2 immune compromised woman was more important than him exerting his God given right to choose. The decision to get a vaccination does not nullify your access to the Bill of Rights. I checked with my md. and quarantined in place for a week. We were both fine.
