Cabinet's installed

Another week gone but we've accomplished quite a bit.

Our sales person Jamie from Danford Flooring came out on Monday and measured the rooms for flooring and carpet. We've picked out a new product by Armstrong for the kitchen, it's called Empire Slate but it's a vinyl sheeting flooring. Really cool. The carpet is still up in the air, we had one with lots of browns, tans, cream colors but it may be just a little too dark. Have some time before we have to make a final decision.

Once we got the quote I went ahead and ordered the kitchen flooring as Jamie said it would take 2-3 weeks. So when she called back that afternoon and said the flooring is in stock and would be shipped on Monday (20th) with installation on Wednesday (22nd) if we wanted.

So we had to get things completed in the kitchen a little faster than we planned but that's ok. We got the cabinets all set, I'm just glad we don't have a very big kitchen. Larry said a few choice words but eventually they were all in. Once the flooring is in I'll post some before and after pictures.

The insurance appraiser came this week too. We had a estimate for repairs on the garage and of course the bill for the tree. Hopefully we'll be able to get the garage taken care of in the next couple of weeks.

The range and refrig. were delivered on Friday. Until the flooring is done they are sitting in the living room. Larry run the water line for the kitchen sink (to be purchased yet) and we will need to decide on the counter top.

Thursday's our grandson spends the day with us and we kept him over night. As much as I love that little guy he sure does wear me out. Of course we're trying to work in the kitchen so I have some games on the computer that kept him busy - for awhile. Than he wanted to do some painting so I fixed up a container with primer in it and turned him lose in the bathroom. Larry said we should leave the walls that way - looks like modern art - no thanks. But the one thing that kept him busy the longest was sending him outside with the paint container and giving him the hose to clean things up.

Guess that fills you in on the last week. Till next time...............................
