We're down at Cyn's old place trying to get some work done. She's cleaned off the outsides of the cabinets to get them ready for painting. I've trimmed the shrubbery and replaced most of the bad ceiling tiles in the basement.
There's lots more to do. I think we've only got two weekends left for the miscellaneous stuff, and then back to the big project - the kitchen. I think we've got one full week of work to get it ready for the countertop installation. Finish patching up the walls, remove the countertop and plumbing, spray texture, paint, paint the cabinets. Then they install the countertop. And I have to replace the diswasher, sometime in there.
Then they do the floor. We're having laminate flooring installed. It's a bit more expensive than vinyl flooring, but I think it will increase the value of the home by more than the difference. At least we thought so until they told us the stairs would cost us $30 a step (in addition to materials). I don't know what that's all about.
We'll be back down here tomorrow and painting my upstairs apartment on Monday. Nice to have a day off.
