jennlkThere are now twenty(20) boxes of wood flooring scattered about the house. And kitchen appliances strewn willynilly (fridge and island cabinet in the living room, microwave in the den, dishwasher & stove on the deck). The installation crew will be here sometime today, and probably most of tomorrow as well. In a picking problem, they originally sent us paintable quarter round, and a quart of stain. Erm. I really hope that different people pulled them.
We have plugged the vent we don't want, and painted the walls behind the old hutch and behind the fridge and stove. The last time we painted, we did not disconnect the stove, just slid it out from the wall and painted down as far as we could reach. This time I painted all the way down. Primer sucks up paint differently than topcoat paint. (It doesn't matter, though. I think I've now used just over a quart of the kitchen paint.)
In theory, the cabinet and new island countertop should be here early next week. I have most of the new rugs we'll need [a new entry rug, as the old one is a)falling apart anyway and b)rubber backed and will discolor the new floor; a rug for under the dining table; a rug for the hall].
