For anyone who read it, here's a quick followup to my original post on Murphy's Law and the Case of the Moldy Sofas.
As you may remember, we recently did some interior design work for the common areas of a low income housing development in Downtown Los Angeles. And much to our surprise, when we arrived onsite and opened the sofa/loveseat/chair/ottoman boxes, they were covered in mold.
Our vendor (EuroModerno) immediately contacted their supplier who said that the mold "should wipe off and stay off." But a couple of weeks later we went back to check, and a bit of the mold had begun to return. Well this was obviously not going to work for us or our clients, so we asked them to exchange the whole set for a new one (mold-free this time please!). Unfortunately (as Murphy's Law usually works), the set was out of stock so we had to wait another 3 or 4 weeks. But eventually the new set was shipped out and we went back this past Friday to finish up the installation. The new set was completely free of mold! We put the old set back in the boxes from the new set and Fed Ex is scheduled to pick them up next week. All in all, a happy ending to a crazy story. Now we're just waiting to hear back from EuroModerno about a partial refund for all our extra time and "hazard pay" for wiping off the mold the first time!
Oh, and please take a second to vote for me (you can vote once a day!) in the StartUp Nation Leading Moms in Business competition! I appreciate your vote. :)
