THE FINAL FLOOR!!!!!

I know you heard it all before...the glue went down, the floor went down yada, yada, yada. There's always a glitch and this one is the final strip is like 1 1/2 " wide! What a pain in the butt!!! (I say this like I'm the one ripping the wood & gluing that skinny strip without making a ooey mess that the Clean-Up B&%#$ (which is me) will have to deal with).
Hey can you do parentheses within parentheses?

Well it's in...and it's almost anticlimactic...I mean we've waited so long for the last floor to go in and it's just like it's here. OK, Whoopee, ya know....I've got another floor to clean....yeah.

Finish trim work.....we'll be moving the furniture in soon!

The Floor Is In
Before October 1st!!!!!!

Meet Joe.......

Meet Joe...he's the window guy.
He brought most of the windows to be installed.
I know you picked up on that didn't you? "Most" you question?
Why yes, most, 1 broke in transit from the factory to the warehouse, he brought a 6 ft slider for a 5 ft slider space & believe it or not, we just couldn't make it fit. Well maybe we could have if Tom decided to redesign the sliding glass door opening to the master bedroom....but I really don't think we want to go down that road!
Unfortunately the poor guy had the defective one out already before he realized it, he had to put the defective one back in for now.

There's a problem with the transoms to be replaced in the
kitchen & family room (of course!), apparently the header shifted compressing down onto the transom. They'll have to break the glass in order to get the window out and obviously the window has to be a "tad" smaller now, so he has to order different sizes.

He changed out 24 out of the 28 in one day, he even peeled the stickers off & washed the one window that wasn't easily accessible! Should hear back in about 3 weeks for the rest.... Unfortunately I have to peel the stickers & wash the other 23 now!

New walkway

We're slowly crossing off that "Honey-do" list! (Little does he know, I keep adding on...hey I have a honey re-do list now, it has been 4 years after all!!!) The outside walkway went in on the side of the house to the shade garden. It was designed with the leftover stone-oops-I mean the calculation for stone delivery in July of 2008 must have included the additional walkway, 'cause there was plenty! The walkway from the garage to the shade garden is complete!!!!
Looks pretty good huh? Of course I supervised this project!
