Day 4: Saturday:
We ran errands after we got home.
We did laundry, and we went to a late movie…late for us.
Day 5: Sunday:
We have been sitting on the sofa squished behind a mountain of stuff in
front of the TV. Yes, the sofa’s very
comfortable. No, neither of us could get
out of it without a struggle. Instead of
going to the very expensive place where we got the first sofa, we drove to
IKEA. After lunch, we walked among the
sofas. I wanted just what we had without
the big rounded arms. Nope, they didn’t
have that. So we bought the same old
thing and had it delivered. We looked at
dressers too. He wants to move into my
closet after getting rid of stuff.
Day 6: Monday:
A day on vacation with the power off.
Back to IKEA we went in Grumpy, and he bought a smaller dresser than the
one he has…a ruined old waterfall. The
new one fits perfectly into the carpet footprint. I read, he got permission to paint one wall,
and he spackled holes throughout the house.
I read some more. He got
permission to move the big old white bookcase back on it’s wall. I scrubbed it. Went to bed early.
Day 7: Tuesday:
The inspectors are to be here either today or tomorrow. Once the new stuff passes the city
inspection, it is drywall, patch, and paint time. Us? I
found a manager and reminded them that their guys put our DSL and phone line
behind a wall. Almost immediately a guy
appeared and is getting everything out in the open. G is talking to a manager about one screen
that’s two inches too small. I’m putting
cookbooks away. We inch toward a home.
You all are amazing, enjoy the fun part of remaking your home. Thanks for the reminder about Inspector Pitt.
ReplyDeleteMage, if an airplane crashes into you, I doubt very much you'll care. Lessa and (is it Zoe?), on the other hand ... Well, that's a different story isn't it. She didn't sign that agreement, I suspect.
ReplyDeleteWell it looks like you have rounded hte tip of the iceberg safely.
ReplyDeleteHaHa, I visit my old stuff at Connie's house, and now granddaughters have much of it.
ReplyDeleteWe spent the day dealing with leaking pipes. I so sympathize with you. Dianne
Hopefully the downward slide will wind up in a lovlier place.
ReplyDeleteI sure do miss Ikea, but maybe it's just as well they're not in Hawaii or our house would have too many things. I get tempted so easily at that store.
