Why doesn't God want me to shampoo??

So when I was still pregnant I tried to come up with something I could do from home to make money and stay home with Carter...so after much struggle and thought I realized there was one obvious answer...put a shampoo bowl and stylist chair in my house (which we hadn't even bought yet) and do hair! I got my cosmetology license when I was 19 and had done hair on and off for mostly friends and family since I left my last salon at 20 to pursue the 9 to 5 life.

Fast forward to now...our house has a small living area in the back yad (like a "mother in law" quarters) where I decided to make into my salon. Well now that I am not pregnant and not yet making money we dove in to tackle the remodel. This place was in BAD shape before we started...I mean it was going to need much more than a fresh coat of paint and curtains. We still are working on the plumbing and we have to install a hot water heater for my shampoo bowl and everything.

The first shampoo bowl I got from craigslist and it had no drain...no nozzle...no fixtures...nothing! I sent my parents about 40 miles to pick it up while I was still at the hospital with Carter so I had no idea of this until after they paid $75 for it. Plan B was to buy a whole new one because I could get one with all the fixtures for as much as I paid for just the bowl the first time. As I looked all over craigslist I finally found one on Ebay that had everything and cost about $100 with shipping. YEAH I have a shampoo bowl!!!!

When we were putting the shampoo bowl in last week the washer that is also the bracket that holds it on from the bottom broke in half! Now this is a BRASS bracket in a very unique W shape and it is necessary to hold the fixture on!!! I called the company on Monday who was going to send me a new one. The mail comes on Wednesday with a standard size enevelope from the company and I open it to find....a piece of folded foam paper with NOTHING inside!!!! WTF?!?! How first of all does a BRASS washer crack in two and then I get an empty enevelope with nothing in it!!! Off to Home Depot I went last night to try to get something that could work...and they tell me there is nothing they have that will work and to try a muffler shop who could probably weld the two halves back together. Meanwhile I am trying to get paneling to go 24" up the bottom part of the walls to cover where part is concrete and not very pretty and they have what I need but 4' so I figure they can cut it long ways for me and their saw was broken! So we went to a second Home Depot and they didn't have the same paneling! Then it turns out you need special stuff to weld brass so it can't be done by people near me so the company has now attempted to send me the part again...hopefully it actually gets here!
