FRIDAY

Friday was a big day. With the help of Tammy, Ella and Tracy we cleared all furniture out of the family room and prepared for the new floors. The flooring company arrived and ripped out the carpet while Tracy (our patient contractor)  pulled out the base boards. When we arrived home at 6pm we had beautiful fragrant hickory floors. Tracy came back and helped to move a few items back in so we can have a place to sit until it is time to stain the floors. Painting is supposed to happen Monday and the cabinets are going in this week!  Can't wait to see them.  We have about 2.5 weeks to go...Several decisions have to be made this week.  We need to order lighting, back splash and hardware.  Photog has been enjoying the details I have been googling on how to care for the new surfaces we are putting in.  Kitchen Designer was grateful that the first item returned to the family room was his bed.  The fridge is in the study...kitchen items are in the basement....sink is in the laundry room and microwave is in the garage.  Where do you make a sandwich?  You get a tub put all the fixins in a tub and head for the patio...it is the only place with a surface.
