Phone Calls, Calendars, and Scheduling! Oh, My!

Kirk finished the tile work on Tuesday afternoon and it looks beautiful. The house is still torn up and things displaced. It will get worse before it gets better. The plumber will be returning to adjust the new faucet's handles. He says "no problem"; we'll see. But I have high hopes! Then the bathroom can be put back together.

The carpet installation is taking place tomorrow. We are anxious for that to be over. Golfer and I will be moving small things out of the way this evening. The installers will be moving the large pieces of furniture back and forth. I imagine we'll spend most of the weekend putting things away and straightening up.

All of this work has caused many phone calls and juggling of the calendar. We have purchased a couple items that need to be scheduled for delivery and set-up, and it's been a real challenge to coordinate that. But so far, so good. I've decided to pick my battles and stay sane for everyone's sake. I had a minor melt down yesterday, but have recovered very well. Today is looking much brighter! Golfer and the Furry Kids will be happy about that!

The wood laminate flooring will be installed on the 16th. Golfer and I are both off work that day. We are looking forward to getting this major renewing of our house finished. There will still be some smaller jobs to be tackled, but the biggies will be done. I know for sure that some woodwork is going to need to be painted. And Golfer will be installing the quarter-round molding all around. Since we wanted it to all match, he said he would tackle that job.

So, that's how we're doing here. It's very cold and windy here in Virigina today. The sunny day is deceiving - the temperature is only in the 20's! Take care and stay safe!
