Macky is finally back and things are underway again. Apparently he had some problems of his own when he went home to Croatia over the holidays…the pipes in his house froze and burst so he was taking care of all that while he was gone. Not the way I’d want to spend my vacation but he finally has some color in his face again and acts like a person and not a zombie. He’s still not a man of many words but I definitely think the time off did him well even if he was working most of that time.
They have closed up most of the bricks on the driveway finally so we can get that trash container out of there and probably order another new one very shortly after we move in if not before. We’re planning to order one for our rental house as well since we need to dispose of our old kitchen which was in the garage and suffered some water damage last winter as well as a few other things which are garbage. We figure it will be easier to do it this was instead of via the regular large trash pick-up scheduling since I think we’ve missed the one for January already anyway and don’t want the landlord to try to bill us for that clean-up process. But it was a good thing that we had the trash container at the farm over the holidays anyway since we did a whole lot of clean-up and wouldn’t have had any place to put all the trash from ripped up the floor and all that.
Macky should be finished with the tiling today and hopefully can also install the door leading from the new kitchen into the pantry/mud room. He is going to have his sanding guys come out hopefully later this week and take care of the new floors and sand down the old wood floor we found in the dining room. Then there will be the new bathroom upstairs to worry with. We are still waiting to hear about the shower’s expected delivery date and have to determine what sort of wall tiles we’ll use in the shower but otherwise he should be good to go. We’re not overly stressed about him getting it all in there before we move in although it would be very nice…but at least we have another bathroom in the house already in case the new one isn’t quite finished…
