I've been quiet for the past couple of weeks.
The kitchen work has been held up
for the past several days
because one cabinet had to be replaced.
It has now arrived and
hopefully in the next couple of days
we'll all see some real progress
in the kitchen.
In the meantime,
the carpet has been pulled up
and we've got oak floors underneath!
They are not in pristine condition,
but with a thorough cleaning
and some minor repairs,
they will be just fine for
my little cottage!
The stairs are going to be the most
labor intensive.
The "waffle" padding underneath has disintegrated
to a hard, clay-like material
that is having to be scraped away.
"My"bedroom upstairs.
The guest bedroom.
I had originally planned to do the painting,
but because my current house sold so quickly
(closing is scheduled for June 12!!!)
I am overwhelmed with packing up.
So, Shannon, my contractor,
has agreed to add that task to his list.
We're all working toward a "finish" date
on the renovations by the end of May.
I am in countdown mode now!
