The bulk of the kitchen floor is in. We have to get a vinyl tile cutter to finish the rest. We'll wreck our hands trying to cut the tile with a utility knife. Boo to that. Luckily I think I can rent one at the rental center on Cedar.
The new fridge is in and the old fridge is out. It's amazing how much more open it feels without that huge fridge in the middle of the room. Small problem: The new fridge fits into the place we have for it perfectly, except the dishwasher won't open unless the fridge door is open. It's ghetto, but I think it's going to have to be that way. *sigh* There are worse things, I suppose.
Panicked when the sink in the bathroom started acting funny, but it just needed the aerator cleaned out. Unfortunately the order of the parts got messed up and now we can't make it fit back in. *sigh* I'm working on figuring out, otherwise we'll buy a new one. Stupid little pieces.
The dryer needs to be fixed already. It turns on, but there's no heat and it doesn't run through cycle, it just stays in place. I have an appointment for Sears to come take a look tomorrow. They better not try to charge me, or there will be words. Strong words.
The shower works! I caulked that up but good, and no leaks from what I can see.
Started clearing out the addition. Justin and I will finish that tonight, so we can get at the walls to finish sanding them and then to start sealing/priming/painting. Very exciting. I would really like to get the house to stop feeling like a construction zone. I figure by the end of next weekend we should be in good shape.
Moulding is expensive, did you know? And the stuff they have at Home Depot is not impressive. I think I'm going to go to A&A Millwork and see what they can do for us. It'll be expensive, but maybe we could keep the original baseboard in the front part of the house and get stuff that matches in the back, which would be pretty awesome.
What else...more of the same, I guess. I'm really hoping we can make good progress this weekend toward getting the addition finished and start getting the house set-up. I'd like to be able to take a break and curl up on the couch and watch tv, or make a meal, or not step on little screws that seem to be everywhere. Soon. Progress is being made. We're on our way.
