And those who have done renovations to their homes know that this is a long process. We it seems like the word needs to be stretched out a lot more because this is getting to be beyond long now.
We have run into several problems, walls not being plumb, floor not level ... the normal stuff... but we have also come across other problems. We ordered some laminate flooring in, we got it and like it, so were ready to lay it, but they did not have the sills etc for the doors yet, so we waited to lay it til we got them... turns out they have some but they are not any where near matching... so now the flooring is going back and we will get it elsewhere.
The crown moulding we bought a couple weeks has been all painted and stuff, then when we went to put it up we found that the size is not consistant... some are out enough just to cause some problems. All from the same bin and all say the same size but there is a big difference.
Then last night dh called me in to the kitchen, he has the cupboards built and and dishwasher plumbed and wired in... and I was to give it a test try..... well this dishwasher does 2 jobs at once...it washes dishes as well as prewashes my floors... there is a big crack on the underside that the water pours out of... and I then had a flood in my kitchen. That is going back tomorrow when we take dgd back.
My windows came today... yippee and they look good, so for that I am happy!
Seems we have run into so many little and not so little problems but it does start to look like it might actually happen.
Now to make matters worse dh did get a call that he would not be back to work til mid June and that is tentative all depending on the markets and the weather and who knows what else. It does not look good for anyone here right now.
Now we have had a couple days of sunshine I have found some energy... so plan to go and thatch the lawn after work. I have been trying to get out to do it for a while now but each time it rains or is too wet, but I think tonight is the night for it!
Anyhow I saw in my garden that there are some nice flower heads on my peonies, and my daphne is looking like the flowers will be opening up any day, and so many of my lilies are shooting up... so I am happy as can be. I dug 2 huge pails of dandelions yesterday and one today and now I am in the mood for gardening.
Hope you are all having a good week!
Hugs,
