Psychotomy

monday they came and finished the tilework for the bathrooms, including regrouting the shower.  apparently the shop had INSISTED that the sanded grout would be fine for the shower and wouldn’t give them the non-sanded grout.  that you’re supposed to use for showers b/c otherwise it doesn’t hold properly.  shockingly, the sanded didn’t hold properly and sunday it was dripping all over the tub :o

so they redid the shower, put in the edging for the bathroom walls and left.  the wood hadn’t come in yet :o

tuesday they were back and put in the quarterround on the vanities in the bathrooms.  and they brought wood, so they finished up the living room floor, yay!  then they waited in their truck for an hour till I got home so I could write them the check for the remainder of the fee (ouch).  apparently the wood didn’t realyl come in, either, they’d had to go somewhere else and just buy it.  eeeesh.

but everything looks so nice now!  the living room looks huge, I don’t know if that’s the wood floor vs the old carpet making it feel larger, or just b/c everything’s still boxed up so it’s markedly uncluttered.  I’m hoping that when I put it back together I can keep the unclutteriness.  Spent the evening putting the computers and electronics back. now we have to start bringing everything ELSE back too *sigh*
