When it rains it pours.....

Secondly, the contractor who is going to re-floor and re-wall the basement wants everything out of and into a pod. Couches, chairs, tables, TV's, speakers, etc. I had to explain a few times that's not an option for them and that we can move the tanks around, but there is nowhere else to put them and that the reptiles cannot go days out of them without potential consequences.

Katie had to calm me down and then talked to the contractor ad nauseam until it finally clicked, I think. We may have to do the flooring in 2 steps and it might be a little more of a nuisance of all involved, but tough. These are my babies.

Contractors are slammed right now and little jobs like yours are fit in around big whole-house jobs. Unfortunately for you that may mean they want to spend a few hours a day over several days or even weeks on your floor, and there will be days where they don't bother to show up, if you are having something like ceramic tile installed instead of sheet vinyl.
