Can't believe this Doha Day!

Yesterday we had some carpenters come to replace the door frame in our guest bathroom. We had termites,I know, where is the wood in this country since all our houses are made of cement. Well we did and they find the only wood in the house around the doors and destroy it. It took them 6 hours to rip down the old and put up new. They put caulking around it and said, "finished Madam, painting tomorrow or next day". I was so busy getting ready for YW activity I never went inside the bathroom. This morning I went into the bathroom and closed the door and they never finished the inside! Honestly, how hard is it to look and see the frame all ripped out you could see right through the side of the frame. I called the reception desk and she said the same thing. How hard is it to look at your work? She called them on the phone and told them it was an emergency and to come back. About two hours later they showed up and I took them to the bathroom and showed them. They said okay finish now? I said, yes finish now. There is a huge language barrier here that can drive you to drink! Well...to conclude they also painted the primer and tomorrow come back for the paint. Here is the problem Steve and I can't breath in here. I know the product they used must be banned in all other countries but here and I am sure we will have cancer some day. It is 95 degrees outside and we are sleeping with all the windows open and the air conditioning blasting. Yes this is the Land of Sand!
