To paint or not to paint...

Painting is scheduled for Monday. We can not decide if we will keep the current paint or go with a new color. The color we tested today is Oatmeal. It is decidedly darker than the current...

Today was sand and texture day. A bit dusty but other than color the walls look normal again! Floors go in tomorrow! So excited for that.

Kitchen Designer's New Kitchen

Kilo's Kitchen has been relocated to the laundry room. He also received new dishes. We figured it was only fair and we hoped to control the lake he typically leaves around his bowl. It certainly is of substantial size but it is working like a charm!

Kilo has attended day care a bit more frequently as we don't find him terribly helpful. He has been very tired!

This week...

I am a bit behind with updates....it has been a long week. Monday the plumber was here an disconnected the sink and dishwasher. Now it is really like camping except we still get a good bed and a warm shower!

Tuesday Tracy ripped out the kitchen floor and the sub floor. At the same time they arrived to piece the drywall. Four men...very loud. Kitchen Designer and I relocated to the patio for the duration.

Patched drywall!

Lights...

After a slight panic attack, mad googling and a visit to the neighbors to view their can lights, lighting was installed today! Kitchen Designer was sent off for the day and that turned out to be good. As Paul the Electrician drilled holes for the cans it snowed pretty white insulation. (Paul the Electrician did not appreciate my description...he proclaimed it hot snow) I am sure that Kitchen Designer would have found that to be delicious.

Paul the Electrician was great! He visually laid out the lights on the floor and worked through the plan with me. I am excited to see them with real bulbs and trim but I think the layout is good. The Photog was at his paying job today so I made a meager attempt at the photography. Photog will be happy that I verified his dimmer will go in...Photog believes "it is all about the lighting."

Tomorrow Paul the Electrician will be back to move switches and change outlet colors.
