New progress…
The wood flooring is supposed to be delivered to the shop today... perhaps I can leave work early to check it out... the entire deal seems too good to be true, but I think it will work out. I stopped by the shop this AM to check on it, as I haven't been given a full total yet, but I am still pretty confident it will work out.
My steering wheel also came in the mail, so I will have that... But assuming the wood comes in today, I will be prepping the floor and pulling up the linoluim instead of playing video games. Which is both good and bad.
Mom and baby are home sick today. We had dinner with Rebecca's cousins Jeff and Shannon last night as well as with her brother Jon, who should be beginning his drive to seattle today. Shannon and Jeff have 2 little ones... It is gonna be fun.
man, am I excited to go to work…
since friday, I have been painting. Every wall, ceiling, closet, trim, bathroom, etc has been painted. Empire installed carpet today. We found an craigslist ad for a dishwasher, stove, fridge, and microwave for $600. All GE Profile. All 4 years old. All nicer than our 12 year old stuff. Actually, our dishwasher is nicer than theirs. So I got those upstairs with the help of Kevin. So I have extra appliances. Hopefully I can sell them for $300 and upgrade for a net of $300.
I think I also found some hardwood at a good price. I will know more this weekend. It will be nice. Good price. From the people we bought the paint from. It should rule.
But I am so sick of painting that I am thrilled to be going to work. Sure, I need to pull up carpet. And lay some plywood in the downstairs. And pull off trim. And put up trim. And shave the doors. And and and and. This house stuff is hardcore. But it rules. I'll have more pics soon. Night and day.
I also met my neighbors. They seem nice.
Big thanks to the parents.
I am tired. Working is hard.
House work….
We have put up 26 gallons of paint or something close to that since friday. EVERY wall has been painted aside from a bathroom, a closet, and the laundry room. Those will be done tomorrow. Empire comes wednesday. Our parents have been a huge help. The house rules and will rule even more in the coming future. Lots of color.
Robyn will be helping tomorrow as well as rebecca's parents. Too bad I can't find any hardwood flooring, but oh well. It is coming along well. Pics to follow soon.
back at work… (obligatory weekend recap)
the weekend was nice... But this is a long post so read on. Brief recap: Scott's birthday, projector, video games, prenatal appt., baby registry, fireworks...
