More Remodeling Waiting

Kitchen and laundry floor installed, molding put back.  Installer was working injured, so he will come back next week and do quarter round.  Rather than try to patch the kick plates with vinyl, we decided to paint them white and do white quarter round.  I painted kick plates and exchanged quarter round.  MIL and FIL will let him in next week.  We just say we travel for work, or are at work.  We do not tell people we don't live here full time.
 

Electrician booked and quoted. While I was waiting for him Friday, I painted refrigerator door and some touch up trim from the old ruined wood floor removal.  Here is fridge before, during and after.
 

We picked out sink and counter tops.  My kitchen is going to be gorgeous, I am so  excited.  I have never gotten to pick out and do my own choices.   Also, I have done ALL the painting on this entire house and am proud to say it.  Took me over a year doing 2 weekends a month.  It was brutal.
 

Made a pie for bathroom contractor and took to him, he let us pick tomatoes!  His son mows our grass.  Here is the post on our bathroom they did.  https://rightsizeandrethink.blogspot.com/2018/04/before-and-after.html
 

We went out to eat lunch with my sister and last night went out with in laws to nice steak dinner.  Yesterday was DH and my anniversary.   I told DH I am fasting today.   He thinks I am kidding.

Back to the city to work. 

Glad this Week is Over

I hate hearing myself wish my time away.  I will have to work on that.  Anyway, got through the busy week.  Today is Friday.  Last night I did some freelance work and made $100 in an hour.  Had a GREAT time with friends having coffee last night.  Today I got paid and finally got my semi annual bonus about a month late.  But, that is about $300 extra I can throw toward paying off my NYC trip.  DH loaded the suburban up Wed night while I was walking (it was 91 degrees!).  I was glad, but sort of upset he did it all alone and after having hand surgery only 9 days ago.  I work till 11 most Fridays, and after work we will load up my little truck also and head to RH.  Last few loads, we are taking 2 vehicles just to be sure we can get it all.  After this last load we are pretty confident in our ability to get the remainder pretty easily.  Mostly just misc stuff for his shop, and a box for this room and that - so should not be too hard to put away tonight.  Tomorrow I am taking the morning off and having lunch/movie with my sister who lives an hour away - we meet in the middle.  Then tomorrow afternoon we are moving a large iron trellis my FIL made from a livestock panel.  They had ivy growing on it to block a hot western wall of their house, but they have since had trees grow up tall to take over the shade job and want to remove some of their more labor intensive garden features.  I want to use it to block a western side of our shop that gets constant sun with vining fruits and veggies, but DH thinks he wants a permanent feature like ivy.  I have never grown ivy, but we have such a mass of vines between our grapes and wisteria that I don't want another thing that I have to trim a lot.  I would rather grow food then just tear it all back in the winter and start over.  Guess we have all winter to decide what we will grow.  Have a great weekend!
