Laurie's World

OK…now we are making some progress

"Kevin the carpet guy"…yes that is his company name…was here today with 2 guys to get the carpet laid. It took them a little over 4 hours to do the 2 rooms downstairs, the stairs and the hall upstairs. They also patched the hole in Jackie’s room from where her old heat register was relocated. So here are the last few pictures of our beautiful plywood floors (for the very last time!)

And here are the ugly old stairs and upstairs halls (with underlay only) Weird how they look like they are sagging in the middle…but it is just wear on the carpet…

And here is what the stairs look like nowLove ’em!!

I finished my tiling of the backsplash yesterday…It will be a day or 2 before I get to the grouting…I have to seal the tiles first, and before I do that I have to clean them…They are natural slate, so a lot of grooves etc, so not easy to get the dust out them, but I am persistant

I unpacked the rest of the kitchen today…and let me just say every nook and cranny is jammed…there are no empty cupbboards in Old Mother Hubbards kitchen. I thought the kitchen would fill up with gadgets…but in reality…it is food that is taking up all the room. It would appear that between the ketchup, BBQ and chocolate sauce noodles, and salad dressing, we are stocked for a while. I guess we lost track of what we had for condiments in the old set up…

So what is left you ask…well other than just putting the house back together, we have to finish the hardwood to the front door, finish the tiling at both doors and in the mud room/powder room, have Leroy come back to finish the base trim, have Neils come back to finsh the electrical, install the warming drawer, have the installation of the dishwasher completed (it needs clips, door panel and electric connection)…that is all I can think of right now…
