the closet is done, mostly. The Menard's we were at didn't have enough of the short shelf in the color we wanted, so those shelves are missing -- I'll be able to get those on my way to rehearsal on Monday. Most of my things are moved in, in and around J's stuff. He went a little overboard filling space at first, starting to move stuff out of drawers as well as out of the piles on the floor; but then I pointed out that there was still a shoe shelf piled with stuff in the corner of the room, three more boxes of his clothes in the office, and three boxes of my stuff in the living room. He's got more clothes than I do in there! I had to move some of his tall boots out of the closet so I could hang my shirts. My shoes are still in a box -- I need a shoe rack, because the one I had was a built-in that went away. IKEA has one that will work, so I guess I'll wander that way next week, unless Menard's has one that I like on Monday.

The boxes at work will be there for a while. They started demolition in the basement yesterday, and the upstairs crew will start Monday. The phone guy was supposed to come in and get A a wired phone connection on Wednesday, but didn't, so she was a bit limited in what she could do -- no phone meant that she couldn't simultaneously talk on the phone and access her files. (her desk and files are now in the boardroom. She only works from the office one day a week, but it's still gotta be a pain.)

The wood floor was installed Thursday. It only took them a day -- they were done and offsite before 5pm, taking all the old carpet & tile with them. We then spent the evening putting everything back, including stuff that had been moved 6 weeks ago when we painted. I still have to hang things on the walls, but that's pretty easy, once I decide what goes where.

The boxes still in the basement will be moved back upstairs and emptied when the new cabinet arrives, at which point this stage of home renovation will be done. The base of the old hutch is still in service as a microwave stand, but that will change.

The cats barely noticed the flooring change. They were annoyed by the noise and strangers in the house, but other than that, it doesn't seem to have affected them at all. Ji is much more interested in the sleeping bag on the floor (I need to take it to the laundromat, as it's too big to fit into the washer that I have).
