Remodel Update


Slowly but surely the remodel is getting finished. Our appliances were installed yesterday which means we will no longer need to store our food in the cooler. (We may need to purchase a new cooler since the one we were using was starting to get really nasty!) The tiled focal point of our entryway will be grouted today so by tomorrow we won't have to watch where we step as we go from the bedrooms to the kitchen.

Now if I can only get them to put the washer and dryer back in the laundry room and re-hook them up so I can wash some clothes!

Too Late Now!

There's a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach, it's been there off and on for a week now. It started about 8:30 in the morning last Monday just when our home's remodeling project began. My stomach started churning the moment I heard the deafening sounds of a single, tiny jack-hammer chipping away at the tile of our front entry. I suppose I was mostly surprised the tile people started in the living room and not in some out-of-the-way and out-of-sight place. Perhaps they did that so I couldn't change my mind once they started. At any rate our house is a mess!



Today, just as I was beginning to get used to the destruction of our home and the changes being made, I discovered a slight, no, a major error in the placement of the new tile in our front entry! Once again I wondered why it couldn't have been in some out-of-the-way and out-of-sight place where it didn't matter? I'm feeling sick all over again. I've been assured by the tile people they can fix it tomorrow, I hope so. I wonder if I will be able to sleep tonight?
