More progress
Yesterday the bath tub was put in and the water for it was hooked up. Today I worked most of the day putting down walnut flooring. It does not look great as it is unfinished. I am guessing I have about 60% of the floor down and maybe 75% of the work doing it. I have never put a 3/4" hardwood floor in so there was a bit of a learning curve. For the most part it went well but I am guessing I made 75 trips from the second floor to the wood shop. My body did not like that very much! I will finish the floor tomorrow and then I will give the wood shop a call that built the vanity and tell them it can be installed. After that they will cut the granite and that will be put in along with the back splash. After that the mirrors can be hung and the vanity light put in. I am hoping the tile can be finished by the end of next week. Things are beginning to come together. As I say that there is a ton of finish work to do including having the wood floor finished. BUT it will get done. I forgot to mention that the new windows need to be primed and painted and of course the old baseboard needs to be cleaned, painted and installed. The list is actually a bit longer but I will stop there!
The big thing here in the Twin Cities is the Ryder Cup of golf. It is on the news all the time and of course it is a BIG deal. It is going on all week but the play goes Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Fall is in the air. This morning the temp was 49 and there certainly was a chill in the air.
I had a funny experience at the paint store today. I purchased a gallon of paint for the bathroom on Saturday. As I painted the room I would say there was a small glob of paint in every second or third roller. I ended up taking the tiny glob off the wall and just wiping it on my shirt as I was in a hurry. This morning I took about 4 tiny globs out of the paint and put them on a paper towel. I brought the paint can and the globs into the paint store. They credited me for the gallon of paint but it took some time as I needed a bit of the paint back for touch up. As I was talking the finicial guy in the store asked if I was a minister! He then said I should not have ruined my shirt with the paint globs so he gave me a new shirt! By the time they were finished with my refund etc. the guy said if I spent any more time in the store they may adopt me!!! Not sure if that was a positive or negative comment.
We are still up in the air as to what to do about getting to Naples and wrapping up things here. Perhaps a few more days and it will be more clear.
