Demo day for us as they begin to remove

my damaged hardwood flooring. Remember me telling about my washer flooding my house back on the 1st of Dec? Well,. they are beginning to start the reconstruction. Today they took out the hardwood flooring it was a big mess getting it out but they did a great job and now we are back to the slab . Tomorrow they will begin to lay the new flooring. Should take about three to four days to get it done. Then they will paint the living room. dining room, den, kitchen and family room. Also put down new baseboards. They will replace the padding under the carpet around the doorways and closets, they will clean my tile floors, and shampoo the carpets as well as paint the bathrooms and bedrooms. Then they will send in a cleaning service to clean the inside and put things back were they belong. So in about three weeks this should all be done. I cannot wait!!


So for now I am once again using Dh laptop which I hate because it is very hard for me to type on a laptop. However for now it is the only computer working in the house.


To everyone where is cold and snowy I am trying to send some warm air you way..

The mess will surely drive you crazy, but what a nice end result you will have.

Wow Mare - sounds like you're going to have a very busy house for the next 3 weeks . . . but definitely worth it when all is "back & beautiful" again.

Hi Lor


Well day two and the hardwood flooring is being put down again. They could only put down a couple of strips because it has to be glued down and they have to start in the middle of the floor to get it to end up right. Need for these strips to dry then tomorrow they will begin to get the rest going


The darn keyboard on a laptop is very small compared to

Hi Mc


The house is going to look so nice once it is finished. As for the laptop. The keyboard is my major problem. With the injury to my right arm it makes it hard for me to type on a regular keyboard. With the laptop the closer keys make typing so hard for me. Not something I can get used.


Love ya

Mare, I hope these weeks fly by, for you. I know how you like neatness and order. How wonderful, that you won't need to do any spring cleaning, but not a very fun way to get it done.


Put up with the laptop for a short time, soon you'll be back on your PC.

Hi Barb


The work is coming along. In about another two weeks we should be almost back to normal.


The nerve damage done to the right arm years ago causes the problem with the right hand and thus effects my ability to type. It also effects the way my right hand has to set to be able to type. Harder to adjust for the keyboard on a laptop. I can do it just not as comfortable as on a regular pc keyboard.


Love ya
