Up to our Ass in Alligators

Well the Contractor we were going to go with to start with backed out on us at the last minute. We went scrambling for someone else, in the end ended up with 4 different someone-ones. We had someone do the baseboards, the plumbers in to do the sinks and bathroom and a Spark in to do the wiring and a wonderful young man named Scott to do the Closets and counter top and the vanities, Shelves and most of the other work. We moved in with Scott still doing drywall in the morning on the 6th of March. The Flooring guys did a great job and now we are in the throws of painting the place. The Baseboards and closets are done as well as the Bathroom and Kitchen. We are getting a Painter in next week to do the rest of the place. The Flooring guys were in today as we are getting the kitchen walls tiled and the bathroom area too. Scott will come back to do the Kitchen Cupboard Doors.

The bills are coming in thick and fast so far we are on budget. I will put some pictures on the web tomorrow as I have to take the Car in for some repairs and so will be in for most of the day. The entire kitchen countertops were rotten and the sink was so old it didn't work anymore. The metal closets were thrashed and modern wooden doors put on a track system to make things work well.

The floors were covered in 2 very old carpets from wall to wall on top of each other and the bottom was foam backed and glued down on the floor what a mess.

Well I got to get the dinner done and tidy up as we are having visitors after supper. I haven't told G. yet and so hope she is up for it as I know she is very tired and fed up with the Year End work coming in.

Till tomorrow.
