Couple weekends of work

We are still at it – we will be for a while as you all know. I didn’t get anything posted last week as I was in Corpus Christi with Ciera on Sunday and I’m sure if I tried to have posted something, it would have been an epic failure, so here is our last 2 weekends of work. It doesn’t seem like a lot and probably a true statement as we are on hold for some of it as we are waiting for materials to get in.

We have ordered all of the new banister parts and the wood stair pieces that are needed so we can finish the upstairs hall flooring. It is all supposed to be in this week, so fingers crossed by the end of next weekend it will be done. Most likely wishful thinking as Chad gets his cortisone shot in his hand on Friday, so it may end up being a TV weekend. I cannot complain as I definitely would not want to go through those shots/pain.

One of our setbacks was with the hallway outside of my office. Chad needed to put a second coat of paint on the wall so we could hang my office door. There are two windows on the one side of the hall and we knew we would be replacing the trim, so why try to tape and paint it, just remove the trim, paint and then we could put up the new. Well….take a look at the window now, it is broke. We thought we would replace these windows as they have a weird boarder on them, but not right away. Guess the house had different plans (or rather Chad).

We then decided we better start getting some quotes on windows, ugh. I knew windows were expensive and I know not everyone has seen every room in this house, but we do have A LOT of windows. We think we know who we are going to go with and waiting for the final quote to land in the inbox. They anticipate 3 days of work, ummmm that is going to be fun. Rodney will be happy as he’ll get to go have his play days, but the kitties, well that is going to be a nightmare, from them being scared to then probably figuring out that they could escape, thinking it might get a little crazy.

Speaking of the kitties, their cat hall is almost completed. We have to do the caulking yet and once we get the banister stuff in, then we can finish up the floor. Getting there!
