Remodeling - Day Twenty-Two

Today started our day pretty much at the usual time. We packed up the truck and headed out around 10 am and got to the house shortly before 11 am. We just finished unpacking the truck when I got a phone call from Direct TV asking us if they could stop by earlier. Of course we said yes. Shortly after that our contractor arrived and started with the finishing touches.

While I was dealing with the guys from Direct TV, Harry started painting the inside of the closet in our office. To amuse himself he wrote a message on the inside of the closet. Once I was done dealing with the guys from Direct TV I joined me in the office and started working on some touch up work. The Direct TV guys were done quickly. They couldn’t hook up the receivers, since our TV's were still at the rental, so we will have to do it ourselves, which shouldn't be a problem.

By the time we were finished with the office our contractor let us know that he was finished as well and was ready to leave. He will most likely be back in a couple of weeks for Phase 2 of the remodel (Guest Bathroom, Kitchen and Toy Room). But before that happens Harry and I have to reassess the money situation as this phase one remodel cost us more then we had planned as we never planned to put a $6000 hardwood floor in.

After Danny had left, Harry and I and drove to Palmdale to pick up a few supplies at Home Depot. While we were out we picked up lunch as well. We got back and saw that Daisy had left her paw prints on the freshly painted windowsill. Luckily the paint was already dry when she got up there and we just wiped it clean. What is funny is her paws were on every windowsill on every window she could look out of.

After lunch I went into the living / dining room to deal with more touch up work, while Harry went into the guest room and started painting the inside of the closet in there.

So we are getting closer to finishing and it can't come soon enough.. now it's time for the time consuming little detail stuff.

Guess that's it for today.. seems like this is all I every blog about these days but to be truthful this is truly all I have been doing for the past month.
