ilovecats Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 When I got my san fran about a month ago, the box had split open during transit and when I did inventory of the house, 2 pieces were missing....one will be easy to deal with when replacing it, the other was a piece of the tower, it was angled and milled.....Well it arrived in the mail yesterday! (the angled, milled piece)Looks like the seller found it and mailed it off to me! Today we: 1) cut a bigger hole for my backwards staircase for the Harrison 2) cut a new hole and wall pieces for the Bellingham! This is exciting....3 awesome things have happened! Pictures to follow in my Blog very shortly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wenlaine Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I'm looking forward to seeing your progress. Sounds like everything is coming together and how cool that the seller realized the piece belonged to you. That's great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovecats Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 I am really excited about all of these things....one reason I didn't start my san fran before the Bellingham is due to the missing pieces.... The new hole and the wall extensions were holding me up to work more on the bellingham. The new hole in the Harrison is just one less thing to have to do! I'm looking forward to seeing your progress. Sounds like everything is coming together and how cool that the seller realized the piece belonged to you. That's great! I'll go post the pictures now!

Hallowell Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Isn't it great when a seller is so honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovecats Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 Isn't it great when a seller is so honest. Absolutely! Just confirms my opinion that most people want to be honest and do the right thing! She could have just tossed it in the trash and I wouldn't have ever known. I never mentioned to her that i was missing two pieces or that the box arrived in bad condition. What an awesome thing for it to just show up on my doorstep! I just emailed her to say thank you!

ouchouch Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 wait a minute. I just looked at your blog and you're building 3 houses at the same time?! OMG And not just small houses, but they're all huge. I wish I had enough space to be doing that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esther Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I like your colors fro the San Fran! Pretty cat too! Yeah, he's pretty... spoiled. He's my baby. What color are you doing your San Franciscan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovecats Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 Yeah, he's pretty... spoiled. He's my baby. What color are you doing your San Franciscan? Our babies are spoiled as well I'm not sure yet, it will be awhile before I start it, so i haven't thought to much about it yet. I do like the idea of a darker body with lighter trim....a couple of different trim colors. Whatever I choose will have to co-ordinate with my MHM, i'd like to have them sitting side by side. I haven't built that one yet either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missymew Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Marg - Thanks for sharing with us the story of the honest ebay seller. It's a good reminder that most of the sellers are good people who want to do the right thing. I'm also pleased that everything is going so good for you today. You are a very good builder and I so enjoy viewing your work (funny word to use for doing something that we so enjoy). -Susanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah!!! I'm so happy for you plus I'm no longer feeling guilty for not being able to trace the missing pieces for you since I had already glued them when you asked. That is really awesome of the seller!! It is nice to hear a positive ebay experience after the last few horror stories. The Bellingham is looking good. That is one huge bathroom!! Can't wait to see it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
