HOW ABOUT SOME GOOD NEWS?
Saturday was AWESOME! My friend April staged an intervention to keep me sane. Her mother (Norma), our friend Judy and April all sacrificed their Saturday to help me clean so I could be ready for company. They were here 8 HOURS. 4 of us, and it took 8 hours....that was downstairs & about 50% of upstairs. It was a "deep cleaning" downstairs-it needed it! We also had to move furniture, etc. All this time D and E were in Missoula. End result of that trip was insulation and drywall for downstairs ceiling (gaping hole has only been there 2 years, why fix now???) new mirrored medicine cabinet for main bath, oh and yippe new carpet for the living room where as i mentioned dog was digging to China. This is all somehow "magically" going to be completed by Thursday evening....lets recap for those who know how the "KING OF 75%" works....am I trying to be positive but come on....
-Texture Main Bath (supposedly happening on Monday)
-Wait 24 hrs then Prime & Paint Main Bath (Tues, Weds???)
-Seal Grout on Floor Main Bath
-Paint and put up Baseboard Moulding in Main Bath
-Install Toilet, Vanity, Sink Top & Faucet, Medicine Cabinet in Main Bath
-Hang back up all Fixtures (towel holders, toilet paper, light, etc.)
-Let's not forget the CAULKING (since that is the root cause of this remodel)
-Hang Drywall on Basement Ceiling
-Tape & Texture Basement Ceiling
-Master Bath sand and texture new drywall patch so painting can be completed
-Finish painting Master Bath (yay its now terra cotta color instead of green)
-Put up 2 fixtures in Master Bath
-Lay Carpet in Living Room
-Steam clean upstairs carpets
-Steam Clean Carpets downstairs
Then all the general cleaning of the bathrooms, Kitchen floor, Laundry etc. All by Thursday? Anyone wanna lay bets on this one? Oy.
I am truly blessed by my wonderful friends. Had they not come and helped i am afraid i would fall into negative nasty blogger heck. They are the bright spot in my life right now and threw me that life preserver when i was going under. Now i have to put on my Christmas wish list one of those cool floor steamer thingies Judy brought over, it is amazing!!! I'll keep everyone posted on our progress. =)
