Progress!

A lot of progress was made today!  Painter Jim hung the wall paper in the entry and finished all the painting jobs - so he is finished!

We went to Rite Rug and got our carpet ordered - installation is set for Tuesday, May 1 !!!!

We bought a set of 2.5" blinds and installed them in the red room - tomorrow we will get another set to match for the yellow room, and we may buy a set for the living room as well.

The carpet guy encouraged us to vacuum the old carpet so that there isn't construction "stuff" in it that might fly around when they pull it up - and also to get the "stuff" up from around the edges where they had cut the carpet out to paint the baseboards.  So, Hubby got out the Shop Vac and went to work.  He got most of the house done before it got too dark - still the master and the yellow room to do tomorrow.

While he was doing the vacuuming, I was painting the access panel to the attic, and touching up a couple of redwood chairs that we will use on the exterior patio.

It is amazing the difference a few things are making.  Just being able to clean up the construction mess has gone a long way to help us feel better about things.  We also feel better about having found blinds that work with the shelf over the windows - we were sort of stressing out about the window treatments.

It also helps to know the workmen are pretty much done.  John, the owner of CH, will be out on Monday to do a couple of things and meet with us for a final walk-thru - we'll probably get our key back then, so we'll feel a bit more in control.

Here's the schedule:
Sunday - more blinds, more cleaning
Monday - Final work by John
Tuesday - Carpet installation
Wed - Delivery of Porch table and chairs from Ashley Furniture
Friday - Delivery of living room furn and bed from Value City Furniture

So, by this time next week, we are going to have a very different house!!!!

WHEEEEE - the end really IS in sight!
